Good Friday Service

April 14, 2017 at 7:00pm

Prelude “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” Handbell Ensemble

Call to Worship
One: Blessed be the name of the Holy One our God,
All: who redeems us from sin and death.

Prayer (unison)
Good Friday God,
look graciously, we pray, on us your people
as we tremble to watch
your Beloved, Jesus,
be betrayed,
be laid open to the powers of this world,
and to suffer death on a cross.
Grant us your presence on this day of Christ’s passion,
that we might be with Christ, through death to resurrection.
Amen.
