Good Friday, April 3, 2026 – 7:00 p.m.
Theme for the Evening: Into Thy Hands, I Commend My Spirit
Season Theme: Seven Simple, Powerful Words Of God’s Grace In Jesus Christ
Reading: John 18:1-19:42
On Good Friday, we gather in solemn remembrance of our Lord’s passion and crucifixion. In John’s Gospel, we walk step by step through the arrest, trial, suffering, and death of Jesus. We hear again His final words from the cross: “Into Thy hands, I commend My spirit.”
This is a night of reverence, silence, and holy reflection. As we return to the Lord with all our heart, we watch The Lamb. We trust in God’s faithfulness. We receive hope and assurance in the gift of salvation accomplished through Christ’s sacrifice.
What to Expect:
Scripture Reflection: John 18:1-19:42 – The passion and crucifixion of Jesus.
Traditional Good Friday Worship: A service of readings, prayer, and reflection, marked by silence and contemplation.
Message: A meditation from Pastor Jamie on Christ’s unwavering love and sacrifice, centered on the words, “Into Thy Hands, I Commend My Spirit.”
Candlelight and Darkness: A time of reverence as the sanctuary grows quiet and dim, remembering the depth of Christ’s suffering and the cost of grace.
