This complete service for Good Friday, adaptable for in-person or online worship, invites worshipers into an intimate and vulnerable space for silence and sorrow, placing worshipers “in the round” and using a single familiar hymn to remove the need for bulletins. 3-minute silences, during which the worship space grows progressively darker, are placed throughout the service to remember the three hours Christ was on the cross.
Liturgy by guest contributor Rev. Bruce Reyes-Chow.
