Good Friday: Tenebrae* — A Service of Shadows, led by Chancel Choir
April 3
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.
