Good Friday
Since the fourth century, Christians have commemorated the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior on this day. Our liturgy tonight consists of The Liturgy of the Word, The Solemn Collects, and the Veneration of the Cross.
This service continues our worship through the Triduum, the last three days of Holy Week. This service begins and ends in silence. Tonight we continue the worship that we began last night at the Maundy Thursday service. On Sunday morning, we will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior.
During the Veneration of the Cross, and after the Reproaches, you are invited to come forward and pray at the altar rail. You are welcome to take one of the roses and a candle from the window near you and place these on the altar as part of your prayer.
If you would like to leave a prayer at the foot of the cross, you will find slips of paper in your pew on which you can write a prayer and bring it to the altar. These prayers are between you and God. They will not be read. We will offer up these prayers as incense by burning them and letting them rise to heaven in our new paschal fire on Sunday morning.
Thanks be to God for the beautifully crafted cross used in our service tonight, made and given for the glory of God by Helmut Linne von Berg.
Our thanksgivings to Helmut Linne von Berg for the gift of his violin music and to Marilyn Newman for the gift of her harp music. And thanksgivings to every member of the choir, all of whom have worked so hard to provide meaningful Holy Week music.
