Good Friday Worship Service

If you were able to attend the Good Friday worship service last year, you know that it’s a little different than a regular Lakewood worship service.  When you enter the sanctuary, you will hear some quiet hymns playing and a message on the screen with suggested things to pray about.  Please enter reverently and find a place to sit, then follow the instructions on the screen.  We will spend some time in personal prayer and Scripture meditation as part of our worship.

I have always been intrigued with a harmony of the four Gospels – that is, attempting to bring them together as a single, unified narrative, in a God-honoring manner of course.  I have assembled a single account of Jesus’ final day on earth before His death (which is what we refer to as Good Friday), as taken from all four Gospels.  I will open the speaking part of our service by reading this aloud, which takes approximately 20 minutes.

For 2022, rather than observing the Lord’s Supper on Easter Sunday morning, the Lord’s Supper will be observed at our Good Friday service.  Some of our deacons will be able to help serve in this capacity, and we pray that it will be honoring to the Lord.

The Good Friday service will begin at noon and should last roughly 30 minutes.  This should provide time for those on their lunch break to return to work without being late.  You may want to prepare for this service by reading Isaiah 53 in total as your Scripture reading for the day.  I hope that you’re able to attend.

Blessings, 

Pastor Bruce
