For those who have not participated before, an hour in the quiet and darkened sanctuary is a powerful way to remember Christ’s passion and death, to pray for the life of this troubled world, to participate in a communal round-the-clock prayer and to prepare oneself for the coming celebration of Easter. Please consider signing up for an hour.

Tenebrae Service

Tonight at 7 pm find a darkened room in your house and listen with us to the story of Jesus’ passion from the Gospels of Matthew, Luke, and John. The sacred words will be read by your Ministry Team and Deacons with special music by Jeffrey Mead and Peter Owens.

We hope this presentation will deepen your experience of Holy Week as we remember Jesus’ suffering and death, offered out of love for a broken and hurting world.

Then on Friday at noon we will gather on Zoom – go here – for an interactive but prayerful closing Good Friday Service. We hope these services will help you experience the depth of Holy Week in preparation for the celebration of Easter.
