Good Friday Service in Wightman Chapel

Join Scarritt Bennett Center for a
Good Friday Service in Wightman Chapel

Crucifixions were reserved by the Roman authorities for those whom today we might call “rebels,” “terrorists,” or “freedom fighters.” Rome did not like anyone that stirred up the people, challenged authority, or had a passion for justice. As Jesus taught, healed, and performed miracles throughout the countryside, he was challenging the status quo. This was not appreciated or understood by Rome, nor by the religious leaders of the Jewish community.

Scarritt Bennett Center’s Good Friday time of worship will focus on the happenings of that long-ago day through scripture, prayer, contemporary readings, and music.

May this be our prayer: 

“Dear God, I don’t understand everything about the crucifixion, but I do understand that from it came the resurrection. I thank you for your love and grace that were involved in both, and continues with me today.”
