Maundy Thursday – Good Friday – Holy Saturday mark the three most important days in the Christian faith.

In these three days we journey with the first believers and Jesus to the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane, through the betrayal, arrest, trial, scourging, cross, death, burial and rising from the tomb…in one worship over three different days.

GOOD FRIDAY

Congregation enters worship space in silence. Observing stripped altar and cross.

Passion of Christ is read from the Gospel of John.  Prayers [Bidding Prayer] is prayed for the entire world. Congregation departs in silence, pondering the mystery of Christ’s death and burial. Waiting, sorrow at the death of our Lord continues until Holy Saturday [Easter Vigil] service commences.
