Clowning: Maundy Thursday foot washing
There are such powerful images that can be drawn from John 13's telling of Jesus washing the disciples' feet and sharing with them the greatest commandment that they "Love One Another." This silent clowning drama (except for text read from voice out of site), gives high impact to this great act of servanthood. Can/should be used in the context of Maundy Thursday worship in place of the Gospel reading.

The Passion Narrative of St. Matthew
NARRATOR: The mood of the people in the city of Jerusalem was one of celebration and excitement. It was the week of the Feast of the Passover, a Holy day that reminded all of Israel of the time when God saved them from slavery in Egypt. They continued to hope that God would act again and send to them the Messiah, the one from God who would save them from the oppression of the Romans who now ruled their land.
The Passion Narrative of St. Mark
Narrator: It was two days before the celebration of the Feast of the Passover in the city of Jerusalem. Jesus had been in the city with his disciples for some time. He openly spoke about the fact that he would have to suffer and die to save people from their sins. He also challenged the religious authorities by condemning their self-righteous attitudes. So the Chief Priest and religious leaders met to form a plan.
