THE RITUAL OF DARKNESS

Welcome to the Tenebrae Service. Please fill out the tear-off part of the bulletin and leave it in your pew so that we will have a record of your visit tonight. The word "tenebrae" comes from the Latin meaning "darkness." The Tenebrae is an ancient Christian Good Friday service that makes use of gradually diminishing light through the extinguishing of candles to symbolize the events of that week from the triumphant Palm Sunday entry through Jesus' burial. This increasing darkness symbolizes the approaching darkness of Jesus' death and of hopelessness in the world without God. The service concludes in darkness, sometimes with a final candle, the Christ candle, carried out of the sanctuary, symbolizing the death of Jesus. A loud noise may also sound symbolizing the closing of Jesus' tomb. The worshipers then leave in silence to ponder the impact of Christ's death and await the coming Resurrection.

HOLY COMMUNION is open to all Christians. The Bible says A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. (I Cor. 11:28). We take that to mean that the only test before coming to communion is that of selfexamination. If you have accepted Christ as Savior and Lord and intend to live the new life in obedience to God you may partake with us. This table is not the New Hope Cumberland Presbyterian table. It is the Lords Table. He wants all His children to come eat and drink with Him and with each other. Where Does the Term Good Friday Come From? The source of our term for the Friday before Easter, Good Friday, is not clear. It may be a corruption of the English phrase God's Friday, according to Professor Laurence Hull Stookey in Calendar: Christ's Time for the Church (p. 96). It is the common name for the day among English- and Dutch-speaking people. It is a day that proclaims God's purpose of loving and redeeming the world through the cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is a day that is good because God was drawing the world to God's self in Christ. As seen in John's gospel, particularly, God was in control. God was not making the best of a bad situation, but was working out God's intention for the world winning salvation for all people. We call it good because we look backward at the crucifixion through the lens of Easter! Good Friday is not a universal name for the day. The liturgical title for the day in the Western church was Friday of Preparation, since the time Jews used the word paraskeue (getting ready) for Friday, meaning the day of preparation. Popular names for the day are Holy Friday among the Latin nations, Great Friday among the Slavic peoples, Friday of Mourning in Germany, Long Friday in Norway, and Holy Friday (Viernes Santo) among Hispanic peoples.
