•TENEBRAE• A S E R VI C E O F D A R K N E S S & S HA D O WS ON GOOD FRIDAY
- SERVICE GUIDE HOLY CROSS LUTHERAN CHURCH GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE APRIL 14, 2006 3:00 PM
INTRODUCTION TO TENEBRAE Tenebrae is a Latin word which means darkness or shadows, to remind us that we deserve to live in darkness without God, and that Christ went into the darkness of death for us. For this reason, just like the practice of the ancient catholic (Christian) church, we are holding this Tenebrae Service or the Service of darkness, which begins in silence and ends in darkness. The Seven Candles will gradually be extinguished to signify the darkness, which covered the earth when Jesus hung on the Cross, and also the extinguishing of our Lord’s life. The center candle however, is not extinguished, but merely removed, symbolizing the death of Jesus Christ. But a few moments later, the center candle is brought back, symbolizing our expectation & hope of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. At the close of the service the congregation will depart solemnly. The offerings will not be gathered and brought to the Altar, instead, as we leave, you can place your Good Friday Offerings on the plates at the rear of the church near the entrance. The mood of the service will be solemn, so parents of children are encouraged to have their child by their side If they become difficult to manage and become disobedient, PLEASE DISCIPLINE THEM. Thank You.
Let us now remember and meditate that on that First Good Friday --- Jesus Christ was nailed to the Cross and darkness covered the earth, Let us remember that Jesus yielded up His Spirit and died, his body placed in a tomb and sealed with a heavy stone. INVOCATION P: Almighty God, we ask you to look with mercy on your family here in this congregation for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed and to be given over to the hands of sinners and to suffer death on the Cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, ONE GOD, now & forevermore. Amen THE OPENING HYMN – TLH # 178 – WE SING THE PRAISE OF HIM WHO DIED

(The fifth candle is extinguished) The Sixth Word – Reuben Sabelita Reader: “It is finished” (John19: 30) Reader Let us remember when we fail to acknowledge the finished work of Christ, when we try to redeem ourselves before God by trusting in our selves rather than on Jesus Christ!

P: My Brothers and sisters in the Lord. It is Finished! You are redeemed – bought back from yourselves, from sin, from death, from the devil! When we depart in this place – we depart as redeemed brothers and sisters in the Lord.

C: AMEN, AMEN, AMEN (A moment of silence will be observed -- after which the announcements can be made)
Friday of Holy Week is called Good Friday ("Good Friday" is probably a variant of "God's Friday," the same way we say "good-bye" today instead of "God be with ye"). Good Friday is an observance of Jesus' crucifixion. It is a somber day of reflection and repentance, and some churches remove flowers and all decorative elements from the sanctuary to reflect the mood of the day. Black is symbolic of death, and as such is used as the liturgical color for Good Friday.
Please join us for our EASTER SUNRISE WORSHIP SERVICE this coming sunday at 4:30 AM. After the service breakfast will be served and we will proceed to the beach for our whole day fellowship. Please invite your friends and family so that they can join us as we celebrate the Festival of the Resurrection of our Lord, Master & Savior ---JESUS CHRIST!
