Good Friday

What is Good Friday?

The reason we are gathered this evening is not because this is a holy day that we are obligated to observe. God has graciously given us the weekly Lord’s Day as a day set apart to rest from our labors, worship Christ, and hope in His resurrection.

We gather because it is good and appropriate for us to give intentional time to reflect with humble hearts on the death of our Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross for sinners like us.
