St. James has been invited to join St. Paul’s (113 Victoria Street, Woodstock) for Good Friday service at 11 a.m. on April 18. The service will also be live-streamed.
He was born in a stable—
in lowly surroundings, yet with high expectation and promise.
He was a threat to political powers, even while still in diapers.
He became a child refugee and a polarizing adult.
He reshaped cultural and religious traditions.
He healed. He welcomed. He loved without exception.
He saved, not condemned.
And he dies—so that we may live.
Times have changed,
but some of the world’s behaviours have not.
Yet Christ continues to love, to redeem,
and to offer a way forward—
the way, the truth, and the life, grounded in perfect love.
His kingdom knows no end.
Come. Let the story speak to you.
Let your heart listen.
Believe.
We even have a statutory holiday
that allows us to freely mark Good Friday,
so that we can follow Jesus to the Cross.
Let us freely exercise it.
Join us at St. Paul’s at 11 a.m. this Good Friday.
Come and meet Love Divine at the cross.
