Our Good Friday service is a penitential service, yet it is also a celebration of the good news of the cross.
The passion narrative, according to John, is often read on Good Friday, because at the heart of John’s passion narrative is the good news of the cross — the victory of the cross. Thus, John’s emphasis on crucifixion and glory corresponds to the day's tension and ambiguity.
Our Good Friday service is often held with other churches in our community, in concert following a broad ecumenical tradition, representative of many ecumenical aspects, and a commonality with many strands of Christian tradition.
