Preparation in each home: there will be time for personal prayer reflection. If you would like to write down your prayers, have a piece of paper and pen at hand. We will be placing our prayers 'at the foot of the cross'.

Order of Service
|
|
|
Reminders to keep our Zoom service running smoothly:
|
- Please keep your microphone muted unless you are speaking.
- When we sing and pray together, we will hear one voice, and the others will be muted.
- Remember to look at your chat box for words to responsive readings.
- If the technology is compromised for any reason or goes totally wonky, we will end the on-line service immediately. If that should happen, we’ll try to restart as soon as possible, sending out an email to notify you.

|
One: We enter the Good Friday story, to taste bitterness turned to release,
|
|
All: We touch rough planks turned to smooth linen.
|
|
One: We smell violence turned to the blossoms of peace.
|
|
All: We hear deafening silence turned to a solemn stillness.
|
|
One: We see truth as holy imprints left on our hearts.
|
|
All: Holy One, you understand our numb senses and prickly fear.
|
|
One: Transform our sin into awareness, and our fear into hope.
|
Hymn Good Friday People by Peter Pay
|
|
Good Friday people hide away in fear;
|
|
tried, denied, convicted, Jesus’ fate is clear!
|
|
Nailed and left to die upon that bloodied tree,
|
God’s own sacrifice, made for you and me.
|
|
We are God’s people; opened is heaven’s door!
|
Sing we now his praises; serve him evermore.
|
A period of silent prayer will follow each reading. You might like to jot down any prayers you have to ‘place them at the foot of the cross’ later in the service.
