On this Friday, which is “good” because Jesus died so that we might live, begin worship in silence, and ponder the mystery and the wonder of God's grace as displayed on a cross.

Single Character Play - John, Chapters 18-19.

The Good Friday Drama will portray the Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial of Jesus according to the Gospel of John. There are three readers: Narrator: The narrator tells the biblical story, sometimes quoting John, sometimes summarizing the unfolding events. Archaeologist: The archaeologist tells of the places, people, and events of the time and explains some of the specific details in the passion narrative. Physician: The physician gives a medical description of what Jesus experienced in his passion and death.

This is not strictly an Ash Wednesday idea. On Good Friday we do a Service of Nails where each participant is invited to place a nail in a cross. It would be powerful for that nail to be one they have carried since Ash Wednesday. A reminder of our sin, driven into the cross.
