Tenebrae: A service of worship for Good Friday

  • Christ Presbyterian Church 2706 East 51st Street Tulsa, OK, 74105 United States (map)

Good Friday is a solemn gathering where we remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the weight of our sin laid upon Him. This service is often observed as a Tenebrae service—meaning “darkness”—where Scripture readings trace the events leading to the cross, and candles are gradually extinguished to symbolize the growing darkness of Christ’s suffering and death.

Through Scripture, prayer, and quiet reflection, we walk with Christ to the cross, considering both the gravity of our sin and the depth of God’s mercy. The service typically ends in silence, helping us feel the weight of the moment as we await the hope of the resurrection.

Childcare will be provided.
