Good Friday Worship: The Service of Shadows (OHB)
Friday, Apr. 3 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us for our Good Friday tenebrae family worship service with Scripture, hymns, candlelight, and communion.
Our adult choir with expanded orchestra will lead an all-church family worship as we observe the crucifixion of Jesus through the ancient service of Tenebrae, a Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows.” Originating in medieval monasteries before becoming a cornerstone of Holy Week for the church, this tradition connects us with generations of believers worldwide.
Through Scripture and somber music, we will follow the story of Jesus’ final hours detailing His arrest, trial, and death as we enter the drama of this holy day. As the room grows darker with each reading, the increasing shadows represent the weight of Christ’s suffering, leading us into a powerful time of communion and silent reflection on His sacrifice.
This is more than a worship service; it is a meditation. We invite you to bring a friend and join us for this very special evening reflecting on Christ’s sacrifice.
Nursery available.
