Good Friday 2023

On this evening, we will remember the story of Jesus’ sacred sacrifice of love made on the cross. In a service of song, scripture, and silence, we will reflect on the hardship of that day and the way darkness seemed to drown out the light. The solemnity of Good Friday is an important part of the rhythm of Holy Week. Because, even in this important, poignant experience, we look to the hope of Easter—that God’s life and love triumphed over the grave. In the midst of the pain and the loss of Good Friday is a profound paradox: what seemed final was simply not final. The grave is empty. Death has indeed lost its sting.
