Tenebrae Service • April 6 at 6 pm
Join us for a Tenebrae Service during Holy Week online and on campus!
What is Tenebrae? The word "tenebrae" comes from the Latin meaning "darkness." The Tenebrae is an ancient Christian Good Friday service that makes use of gradually diminishing light through the extinguishing of candles to symbolize the events of that week from the triumphant Palm Sunday entry through Jesus' burial. This increasing darkness symbolizes the approaching darkness of Jesus' death and of hopelessness in the world without God. The service concludes in darkness, sometimes with a final candle, the Christ candle, carried out of the sanctuary, symbolizing the death of Jesus. A loud noise may also sound symbolizing the closing of Jesus' tomb. The worshipers then leave in silence to ponder the impact of Christ's death and await the coming Resurrection.
You are invited to join us on-campus in the Sanctuary and in Wesley Hall and online via the livestream on Facebook, YouTube, and our website for the Tenebrae Service.
