Good Friday

The language of the Good Friday liturgy on April 15 walks through the passion of our Lord. The choir will sing these words in which Jesus is crucified. We acknowledge our own role in God’s unfolding narrative. There is no celebration of Eucharist and the ministers wear black. Jesus' death is seen by Christians as salvation and as a reminder of how prophets are often killed when they stand for justice and peace. The offerings given this day are sent to the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East (for more information, read here). For many Christians, this day is also a day of fasting and penance.

At 6:30 p.m., the choir will sing the words from John's Gospel in which Jesus is crucified. This worship service feels somber and barren, yet we acknowledge that God is still there in the darkness.

Nursery is offered at this service, and the service will be live-streamed.
