This service is one of the most special of our entire church year—it is when we remember as a community something that makes Christianity unique among all religions throughout the world and throughout history. We believe in a God who does not remain in Heaven, removed and all-powerful, but rather becomes one of us and joins us in human suffering. It is a mystery so great that we return to it year after year. This service includes a remembrance of the Last Supper and walks through Jesus’ crucifixion as told in the Gospel of John by using scripture, song and prayers of confession. Our prayer is that, this year, the story of what Jesus endured on the cross will speak to you and your own personal struggles in new and meaningful ways.
