CALL TO WORSHIP | Connie Bookholt, liturgist
God is light, in whom there is no darkness at all.

Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world,

and we loved darkness rather than light.

For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world,

But to save the world through him. Amen.

HYMN

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 298 (verse 1,2,3,4)

When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of Glory died;
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.

See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

OPENING PRAYER
O God of infinite love and power, we gather on this Good Friday to reflect on the passion of the Christ. We are humbled in the presence of such love and mercy. Open our hearts this day to the goodness of Good Friday and fill us with your love and powerful Spirit of Holiness. Offer us anew this life in Christ that makes all things new. Amen.

THE SEVEN LAST WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST

SCRIPTURE  

John 19:28-30 | New Revised Standard Version, Updated Edition 

²⁸ After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfill the scripture), “I am thirsty.” ²⁹ A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus had received the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

MESSAGE

Tetelestai | Pastor David McEntires

SILENT MEDITATION

MUSIC MINISTRY

Cross Cry | Gilbert Martin
Chancel Choir 
I think I heard him say, when he was struggling up the hill, “Take my mother home.” I think I heard him say when they were raffling off his clothes, “Take my mother home.” “Then I’ll die easy, take my mother home; I’ll die so easy.” I think I heard him say, when they were lifting up the cross, “Take my mother home.” I think I heard him cry when they were nailing in the nails, “Take my mother home.” “I’ll die this death on Calvary, won’t have to die no more.” I think I heard him say when he was giving up the Ghost, “Take my mother home.”

* HYMN
Were You There | The United Methodist Hymnal No. 288 (verses 1,2,5)
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
