• GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE OF TENEBRAE with SPECIAL MUSIC and STREPITUS - April 19th at 7:00pm

  The word tenebrae is Latin for “shadows.” The story of Christ's Passion impresses upon us, the gravity of our sins and the shadows of betrayal, abandonment, and agony surrounding Jesus' Crucifixion. Candles are extinguished one by one, reducing the light throughout the Service. By the end of the Service, the sounds of the Strepitus will fill the church. The loud noise symbolizes the earth shaking and rocks splitting (Matt. 27:51) at Jesus' death, and foreshadows the violent earthquake (Matt. 28:2) at the opening of Jesus' tomb on Easter morning.
