We have a two part series called “Duality.” We will look at the duality of Tragedy and Triumph between Palm Sunday and Easter. Our message today is “Tragedy.” We reflect on the way that tragedy can overshadow all joy because of fear and sorrow. When we look between the good and the bad, the celebration and the sorrow, there we will find Christ.
Our scripture readings come from Isaiah 50:4-9a; Philippians 2:5-11; and Luke 23:33-56a.
We have a special service today for Good Friday. Come and join us as we hear the Passion story form the Gospel of John. We have the full service including music. We see the light extinguished leaving us in darkness. However, we still carry hope for resurrection, even in darkness.
