Dear Friends,
Good Friday is one of the essential celebrations in Christianity. The Lord, our Christ, died on that day and made a total sacrifice for the salvation of all of us. This divine venue has led us to celebrate Christ’s victory in resurrection over the influence of death and sin on Easter Sunday.
In our hybrid divine assembly, we will have the readings from the Gospel of Matthew related to the accusation, crucifixion, death, and burial of Jesus. We will sing sacred hymns and have the time of reflection of Christ’s love on the cross in silence and unison prayers.
We will have unique videos listed below:
“He Looked Beyond My Fault” by the Joint Choir of Knox Glenarm & St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls. This memorable anthem was directed by our retired organist Jane Veale, and the film was recorded at the 2009 Maundy Thursday service at Knox Glenarm.
“The Foot-Washing Ceremony & Beneath the Cross of Jesus.” You will see the late Jim Nesbitt washing the feet of his late wife June in the demonstration of our Christ’s humble servanthood. This venue was also held at the Maundy Thursday service. During that time, the joint choir also sang the song above.
“And the Crowd Cried Out” was sung by Barbara Dunn-Prosser and was filmed by her husband, David, in 2021.
On behalf of the Leadership Team, I express our thanks for all the preparations for the holy service to all the participants in the sanctuary, via Zoom, in the videos, and even behind the scenes.
With this introduction, I invite you and your family to join us for a hybrid service at St. Andrew’s Fenelon Falls on Good Friday Service, April 7, 2023, at 10:00 am.
This divine assembly will also be broadcasted live. The Zoom link below will open at 9:45 am with the announcement slides.
“Above his head, they placed the written charge against him: this is Jesus, the king of the Jews” (Matthew 27:35).
Blessings,
Caleb
