Good Friday is a solemn and reflective day for Christians, as we remember the passion and crucifixion of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is a day to meditate on His great sacrifice for humanity and the profound love He displayed through His suffering and death. At Good Shepherd, we invite you to join us for a Good Friday Worship Service with the ancient tradition of Tenebrae, a service of darkness.

The service of Tenebrae, which means “shadows” or “darkness,” symbolizes the gradual fading of light as we reflect on Christ’s final hours. Through scripture, hymns, and the extinguishing of candles, we will walk through the story of Jesus’ trial, suffering, and death. The service is a powerful way to enter into the sorrow of the day, acknowledging the weight of Christ’s sacrifice and preparing our hearts for the joy of Easter morning.
