Join us this Easter at All Souls Unitarian Church for a weekend that honors deep traditions of reflection, community connection, and joyful celebration. As we reflect on our March theme of ‘Brokenness,’ this Easter weekend offers a moment for contemplation, renewal, and connection.
Good Friday Tenebrae Service: March 29, 2024, at 7:00 PM
Our modern Tenebrae Service, derived from the Latin word for darkness, is a poignant beginning to the Easter weekend. This ritual of progressively extinguishing candles symbolizes the descent into darkness that is a part of our lives. Through traditional and contemporary music, as well as readings that range from scriptural to modern, this service invites you into the darkness of sorrow, suffering, and loss. It is in embracing this darkness that we find the capacity for rebirth and renewal, moving from the shadow of Good Friday into the light of Easter.
