Good Friday


Our Good Friday service tells the story of Jesus' last night to his crucifixion.  A large part of this is a Tenebrae service based on John 18-19.  A Service of Tenebrae, or "Darkness," is based on a twelfth-century late night/early morning service and is an extended meditation on the passion of
Christ.  As the readings move forward in the service candles are extinguished and we  move toward darkness and silence.  This is a powerful way to remember the death of Christ and his sacrifice for us.     Because of the mood of the service it will end with silence and a quiet leaving.

The service will also include a celebration of the Lord's supper with Tom preaching on 1 Corinthians 11.23-26.

Come and join this night of remembering and preparing for Easter.  The service begins at 7:00 p.m.
