Join us Friday, March 29, at 12pm & 7pm for the Good Friday Liturgy
On Good Friday, we reflect on Jesus’s death on the cross. You are invited to witness the sober and profound sacrifice of Jesus’ life laid down for us. The Good Friday liturgy weaves together specially appointed prayers, music, a reading of the Passion Gospel, and communion from the bread & wine reserved on the Altar of Repose following the Maundy Thursday Service. Communion is received in silence. There is also the opportunity to remember the love that Christ showed for us on the Cross through making an act of reverence at the Good Friday Cross which is processed into the church for the Veneration of the Cross.
The Episcopal Church’s Good Friday Offering provides an annual opportunity to support churches, medical programs and schools in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. First gathered in 1922, the initial Good Friday Offering was an intentional response to support Anglican ministries in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East that were impacted by the devastation of World War I, the Spanish flu pandemic and unrest affecting Armenian Christians, among others throughout that region. In his 2021 Good Friday Offering letter, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry writes: “For those who are able to give, the Good Friday Offering is a reminder for our Anglican brothers and sisters in the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East that the Episcopal Church stands in solidarity with them in Jesus’ name.” Gifts can be made this year online or via text in addition to mail.

Parishioners can also send checks to St. Andrews Church with Good Friday noted on the memo line.
