Good Friday

The Guilford Church hosted a United UCC Good Friday service Friday evening, and it was very powerful - mostly in silence guided by a question, such as "How is the sorrow mentioned in the scripture we just heard read manifest today?" A large, rough-hewn cross was on the chancel steps, and at one point we were invited to nail our own burden(s) to the cross. The choir sang two heart-breakingly beautiful anthems. It was simple and very effective.
