- Tenebrae Service - Tuesday, March 26, 7:00 PM
Join us for this special evening worship service, taken from an early Christian tradition. The name Tenebrae is the Latin word for "darkness" or "shadows." We experience a small portion of Christ's pain and suffering the day of His crucifixion. One of the most notable features of the service is the gradual extinguishing of candles until only a single candle, considered a symbol of our Lord, remains.
