Good Friday Tenebrae, April 7
5:30 pm
The Good Friday service this year will be in the form of a Tenebrae Service. It is a dramatic and solemn service. The word Tenebrae is from the Latin word for darkness. While the congregation is in prayer, seven candles are extinguished one by one, in memory of the seven last words of Christ, concluding the service just as Jesus' crucifixion concluded...in darkness. It is a fitting end to Good Friday and sets the scene for the Resurrection to come.
