Do you want your congregation to experience the unforgettable drama of Jesus' suffering, so that they more fully appreciate the celebration and joy of Easter?

As each part of the Passion story unfolds, more candles are snuffed out, and the service concludes in total darkness. By reminding us that the Light of the World came to us, yet was engulfed in total darkness as his life slipped away, \u003cem\u003eBeyond The Shadows\u003c\/em\u003e focuses worshipers' attention on the coming resurrection, and how that brightness contrasts with the darkness of the crucifixion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen The Son's Light Failed\u003c\/em\u003e is a poignant Good Friday dramatization that imagines the presence at the crucifixion of many women whose lives were profoundly affected by Jesus. The women all share their stories with each other as they witness our Lord's ultimate sacrifice. It's a moving portrayal which reminds us that Jesus' ministry touched the lives of everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tenebrae service \u003cem\u003eChoices At The Cross\u003c\/em\u003e explores some of the choices faced by those involved in the events of Christ's Passion -- ones of far greater magnitude than what we often face on a daily basis. \u003cem\u003eChoices At The Cross\u003c\/em\u003e emphasizes that the most important decision we ultimately face is our response to the question posed by Pilate: \"What shall I do, then, with Jesus, who is called Christ?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on John's account of Christ's passion, \u003cem\u003eGood Friday Readings, Meditations, And Prayers\u003c\/em\u003e is a series of seven brief contemplations and prayers that can form the basis for a remarkably effective Good Friday service or be used for personal devotional reading during Lent.
