We share in the Last Supper and read the passion story while candles are extinguished and we fall into the darkness of the night together as we acknowledge the dying way of Jesus. Then begins our vigil through the night and to Good Friday where people from our church community will hold the space in prayer around the clock. At the end of the vigil, 12pm on Friday, we will have a brief closing service to mark Jesus’ death and share experiences of the previous night.

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.
