Bulletin for Good Friday Tenebrae Service


Tonight Matthew’s Gospel will be our guide.

We will light 7 candles, and then one by one extinguish them as the story is told. At the end of the service there will be no candles burning. But we are Easter people. Even as we end the service in dark silence, we look, in faith and hope and love, to the dawn .”


Our Good Friday Tenebrae Service will be livestreamed at Gloria Dei at 7 pm
