Good Friday Meditation Service available online today, on your own time.

This guide will help you navigate through nine stations throughout the church. This meditation will give you an intimate look at the last hours of Jesus’ life. You are invited to gather some items which may help with your meditation:

Each station: your Bible and a candle (or 9 candles, to be extinguished as you complete each station)
Station 1: a small bag of coins and a small table, which you could overturn (this takes some courage)
Station 2: a plant to represent the Garden of Gethsemane
Station 3: sharp wire or sticks, to represent the Crown of Thorns and a piece of purple cloth
Station 4: a cross you can lift
Station 5: a hammer, nails, small scrap of wood
Station 6: a pair of dice
Station 7: a place to kneel
Station 8: a Bible turned to Psalm 22
Station 9: a length of white or linen cloth, a small amount of oil (as if for anointing)
The artwork for each station was painted by my beloved friend, Bobby Strickland, for Saint Mark United Methodist Church in 2008. These paintings were commissioned by the Director of Fine Arts, Jane Burke, and have been a blessing to so many through the years.
