Ash Wednesday Worship Service

Tenebrae Worship Service

Our service of Tenebrae, or “shadows”, is a tradition used in the last days of Holy Week (the Friday before Easter) to impress upon the hearts of believers the awful consequences of sin and the magnitude of the Savior’s sacrifice. 

The most significant feature of this service is the gradual extinguishing of the lights and the candles in the room and on the communion table.  The candles represent the disciples and other followers of Christ as they gradually took flight.  The ensuing darkness symbolizes the growing resentment and hatred of the world against the Savior. 

This service is designed not to make you feel uncomfortable but to give you the opportunity to pause and remember what Christ endured for you.  In the silence let the story speak to you, and allow yourself to be brought to the God of grace through it.
