Good Friday Evening Service
April 18th, 2025 – 7pm
Please note this is an IN-PERSON worship service.
At the Hollywood Campus in the Courtyard.
Join us in the garden on Good Friday! We will meet at 7:00 pm, on April 18, as sunset approaches, in the Courtyard of the Hollywood campus for a time of peaceful reflection and companionship as we gather to sit at the feet of Jesus. We will share in scripture and poetry, accompanied by harp as we hold vigil together.
Some possibilities for prayer and meditation at home:
The seven last statements of Jesus spoken from the cross…
- Luke 23:34 “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”
- Luke 23:43 “Today you will be with me in paradise.”
- John 19:26-27 “Woman, here is your son.” “Here is your mother.”
- Mark 15:34 “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
- John 19:28 “I am thirsty.”
- John 19:30a “It is finished.”
- Luke 23:46 “Into your hands I commend my spirit.”
Closing Prayer:
O God, you have come to us in your son, Jesus. He has revealed your love by his words and actions, and most profoundly in his suffering and death on the cross. I pray that I will know your forgiveness and let your love fill my life and guide my words and actions so that I will be healed and become a healing presence in the world. Amen.
