Good Friday Services

Lake Forest: 1 – 3 PM reflective service | 7 PM evening service

Join us for a profound journey through our Good Friday Services, a pivotal moment in the Easter story. On this day, we come together to reflect on the solemnity and significance of the sacrifice made for us, marking a time of deep contemplation and reverence.

Our daytime services will offer a unique, extended format, designed for personal reflection and meditation. Recognizing the diverse needs of our community, these longer sessions are crafted to allow attendees to come and go as they please, offering a flexible space for everyone to engage at their own pace. This open structure invites you to spend as much time as you need in prayer, reflection, and quiet contemplation, surrounded by an atmosphere of solemnity and peace.

As the day transitions into evening, our services will adopt a more structured approach. These evening gatherings are designed to bring us together in a communal expression of our journey through the darkness and into the hope that lies beyond. Through readings, hymns, and prayers, we will navigate the heavy and poignant aspects of the Good Friday narrative, immersing ourselves in the depth of its meaning.

Our Good Friday services are intentionally heavy and dark, reflecting the gravity of the events we commemorate. This is a time to pause and reflect on the profound sacrifices made, the depth of love shown, and the powerful story that forms the cornerstone of our faith. It’s an opportunity to connect deeply with the heart of the Easter story, engaging with its pain, its sacrifice, and ultimately, its profound hope.

We invite you to join us in this meaningful observance. Whether you find solace in the quiet reflection of our daytime services or seek the communal experience of our evening gatherings, there is space here for you. Come and bear witness to the solemn beauty of Good Friday, as we honor the journey, the sacrifice, and the love that changed the world.
