Good Friday – April 2, 2010

Good Friday is the darkest moment in history.  Jesus Christ was brutally crucified and died a painful death.  In years past, our Good Friday service included remembrances of the entire Holy Week.  This year, our entire service and music will be surrounding the last word of Christ on the Cross.  The service will be intense and mournful.  The music will be dissonant and unsettling.  Again, our main focus this evening is Jesus on the Cross, not what it means for us now.  The tendency is to glaze over the brutal reality of that day, quickly moving to what it meant for us and then to the resurrection.  Once a year, in reverence of Christ, come and mourn with us.  Come and show honor and respect to the one who made the choice to die that we might be saved. 

Nursery care is provided and recommended during this service.
