Good Friday Service of Tenebrae

  • Highlands United Methodist Church 1045 20th Street South Birmingham, AL, 35205 (map)

Good Friday recalls the day of Jesus’ trial, crucifixion, and death. Service at noon and 6:30 p.m.

The Tenebrae Service, from the Latin meaning "darkness," makes use of gradually diminishing light, scripture readings, and sacred music to symbolize the events of Jesus' last week on earth, from the triumphant Palm Sunday procession through Jesus' crucifixion and burial. The service concludes in total darkness as the Christ candle is taken from the Sanctuary until Jesus' resurrection on Easter Sunday.

A nursery is available for children age 4 and younger.

The service will be streamed on Facebook, Vimeo, Youtube, and www.highlandsumc.net.
