On this evening, we will remember the story of Jesus’ sacred sacrifice of love made on the cross. In a service of song, scripture, and silence, we will reflect on the hardship of that day and the way darkness seemed to drown out the light. The solemnity of Good Friday is an important part of the rhythm of Holy Week. Because, even in this important, poignant experience, we look to the hope of Easter—that God’s life and love triumphed over the grave. In the midst of the pain and the loss of Good Friday is a profound paradox: what seemed final was simply not final. The grave is empty. Death has indeed lost its sting.

Join us for worship on Good Friday at Noon in Cole Chapel and 6:30 pm in the Sanctuary. You can also join us online for the 6:30 pm service here at fumcdenton.com/live or on Facebook. Our Good Friday worship this year will be a stations of the cross service. The choir will present Taylor Davis’ Return to Me, a new choral setting of the stations service accompanied by George D’Ascenzo on cello. Join us for this poignant service as we commemorate Christ’s death and prepare for the celebration of his Resurrection on Easter Morning.
