On Good Friday, April 19th at 7:30 p.m. a Tenebrae worship service based on ancient church traditions will be held in the sanctuary. Tenebrae is a Latin word that means “darkness” or “shadows.” The service comes from the monastic tradition where, along with other daily worship, Tenebrae was the last service on the eves of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. This year the choir will be leading us using choral variations on “Ah, Holy Jesus” arranged by Roger T. Petrich A significant feature of a Tenebrae service is the gradual extinguishing of the lights and candles in the room during the retelling of Jesus’ last days. When the service is over it will still be incomplete until Easter. You will be invited to continue the journey through Holy Week as you depart. You will be given prayers and suggested scripture readings to guide your devotions between Good Friday and Easter. Then you are invited to return on Easter morning to celebrate the glorious resurrection.
