The story of Jesus' death isn't only central to our faith, but also to our lives. We too know what it means to experience death, suffering, loss, abandonment, and betrayal and rumble with what it all means. In this Good Friday service we enter into our shared story through words and music, and ask "where is the hope?"

As always, everyone is welcome, wanted, and accepted here in our community. Thanks for joining us!
