Good Friday 9.30am

Call to Worship:

Leader:          Today is a solemn day.
Today is a day we remember the powers of darkness
are strong and real.
Today we recall that the presence of God, seen in Jesus, was consigned to the cross to be silenced and extinguished.

ALL               We have seen these powers, we know these powers.  Here we seek another power seen in the Christ who died that we might find life.
