17 – Tenebrae Service – Bill Watt 7:30 pm Easter Thursday - Tenebrae (“Service of Shadows”) is a Catholic tradition that dates from the fourth century and is held during Holy Week. It captures the “shadows of mourning” that occurred following Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, through his crucifixion on Good Friday. A mixture of readings and music,Tenebrae is a short but deeply meaningful service (around 40 minutes.) and is now a feature of worship in many churches. This was well received last year so we are bringing it back. Come and enjoy this special evening.
