Good Friday Worship Service

Good Friday
Good Friday is a day of thoughtful consideration for Jesus' sacrifice, his death on the cross, for each one of us. The spiritual practice for this time of worship will be Tenebrae, a service of meditation on Christ's suffering.

Preparing for Worship in Your Home
Although no items are required, you are welcome to gather 7 candles and extinguish them in succession with the worship leaders.

Faith in Action Idea: Caring Conversation
Talk or write about what you heard in the Bible text/story.

1. Take a moment to tell or think about a recent mountain high and/or valley low in your life.
2. Hot cross buns are traditionally served on Good Friday. They are marked with a cross on top to represent Jesus’ crucifixion and have spices inside to symbolize the spices placed on Jesus’ body after his death. Buy or make your own hot cross buns to eat on Good Friday. Place the buns on a table, light a candle and turn all the lights off. Say: Jesus Christ is the light of the world. The light no darkness can overcome. While sitting in the candle light, think or talk about Jesus’ death and what it means to you. Close with the Lord’s Prayer.

Faith in Action Idea: Service
Jesus calls us to serve our neighbor in love. Based on the Holy Week Bible Readings and theme, how do you show through actions and words that you are a follower of Jesus?
