For the 7:00 am and 5:30 pm hikes, meet in the meadow behind the church to begin a guided meditation trek along the beautiful trail owned by Boone UMC to experience Christ’s offering for us on the cross, as well as the glory of His creation. For the 12:00 pm trek, meet in the Meadow and walk the guided meditation loop in the valley; this option is great for people seeking a less strenuous hike.

Self-Guided Stations of the Cross
April 18
9:00 am-4:00 pm, Sanctuary
Reflect on the suffering of our Lord’s journey toward the cross as you meditate at 14 stations and follow a written guide. Stations are set around artistic renderings created by our very own Dr. Cynthia Taylor that offer a visual expression of the joy and pain experienced by Jesus Christ.

Good Friday: Tenebrae* — A Service of Shadows, led by Chancel Choir
April 18
7:00 pm, Sanctuary
* The Tenebrae Service, meaning “shadow” or “darkness” in Latin, is a solemn meditation on Christ’s suffering and darkest hours. As we join the generations of believers who have observed this service for over a millennium, we honor Christ’s request to stay with Him in His time of suffering. While we grieve, we do so with hope, anticipating the joy of Easter morning.
