Good Friday: worship gathering
Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday that commemorates Jesus’ crucifixion and burial has become a tradition of our own at theeffect. We move into a more contemplative posture and give the day its reverence and gravity. With the cross covered in purple as the church has done for millennia, images depicting Holy Week scenes of Jesus’ passion roll in the background as we delve into the deeper meaning of these events with a “theater of the mind” dramatization from the point of view of Jesus’ friends and followers. Music and spoken word evokes the experience of the past to find its relevance to us today. We have communion together and physically nail our cares and concerns to a cross in preparation for the new life of the resurrection.
Come join us In person or online Friday evening, April 18th starting at 7PM for a time of connection and introspection at the end of the Lenten season that will take you on a journey toward Easter.
If you’re joining us virtually from your computer, iPad, or smart phone go to our Video and Streaming page here and simply click the play button in the streaming window. To fully participate, set a small table with bread and grape juice or wine for communion and pens and paper for each family member to write their cares, concerns, or prayers to symbolically nail to the cross as we will be doing in our sanctuary.
