Good Friday Liturgy
7 April 2023 @ 9:30 am – 11:00 am
On Good Friday we stand by and hold prayerful vigil as Jesus dies in solidarity with all the suffering of humanity, freely laying down his life and becoming a victim- but a victim who does not point the finger at others but forgives, making new beginnings possible.
At the Good Friday service there will again be offered the opportunity to venerate the cross- coming forward to pray at the front of the church after it is elevated as a gesture of respect for all it represents. At that moment there is also an opportunity to leave a symbol of something you may wish to release or let go- perhaps something that you have become aware of in your life that is a burden. You may wish to write something or just draw a symbol on a piece of paper. All of these will be gathered up and kept private until they are burned in the new Easter fire in the vigil service at the dawn of Easter Day.
