Tenebrae Service
Wednesday | 04.16 | 6:30PM
The service of Tenebrae, meaning “darkness” or “shadows,” has been practiced by the church since medieval times. Tenebrae is a prolonged meditation on Christ’s suffering. Readings trace the story of Christ’s passion, while the music portrays his pathos, and the power of silence and darkness suggests the drama of this momentous day. As candles are extinguished, we ponder the depth of Christ’s suffering and death; we remember the cataclysmic nature of his sacrifice as we hear the overwhelming sound of the “strepitus” (symbolizes the earthquake that followed Christ's death); and through the return of the small but persistent flame of Christ's candle at the conclusion of the service, we anticipate the joy of ultimate victory.

You don’t want to miss our first "Journey to the Cross", a self-guided walk, tracing some of the key events that took place before Christ was crucified. At each of the stations, experience a powerful interactive illustration, culminating with a private communion with Senior Pastor Barry Yates, at the cross located near the parking lot entrance. |

Easter Sunday marks the day Jesus conquered death, offering hope and eternal life to all who believe in him. This is why Easter is often referred to as the "Risen" Sunday. We invite you and your family to join us this Easter Sunday as we celebrate Christ's victory during this special service.
So that we may have the best seating option available, for you and your family, we ask that you register for the Sunday service in advance. There is no cost, this is just to let us know that you are planning to attend. |
