At 12 noon, we gather for a simple liturgy of the “stations of the cross” in the sanctuary, as we walk the via dolorosa — the way of suffering — with Jesus at the hour of his crucifixion. This service is intentionally short (approximately 30 minutes in length) to accommodate lunchtime schedules. Throughout the remainder of the afternoon, the sanctuary will be open for prayer and reflection as we keep our Good Friday vigil beneath the cross of Jesus. At 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 p.m., a brief interlude of scripture, prayer, and song will punctuate our silent vigil-keeping at the cross. We will gather in the balcony for those brief, five-minute interludes. At 7:30 p.m., a service of tenebrae (shadows) and adoration of the crucified one will be held in the sanctuary, with scripture, hymns, and growing darkness as we commemorate the saving death of Jesus. It was a very good Friday indeed, “for God so loved the world.”
