Agape is the Greek work for God's love or esteem. Jesus expressed this through service. At the agape meal we serve one another. Following this simple meal we return to the church to remove the linens and brass ornaments readying the church for Good Friday. While the acolytes prepare the sanctuary, the choir will sing Psalm 22.
True love is always self-giving.
We give a lot of ourselves for the ones we love. Jesus gave his all for the love of the world. The Good Friday liturgy from the Prayer Book will be offered at 1 p.m., with a children's service at 2 p.m. Following the children's service the church will return to quiet until 3 p.m. Good Friday Walk gives help to southern poor The Good Friday Walk will take place on Friday, April 10 and raises funds for the rural poor in the South, particularly in Mississippi. It also raises our awareness of racism in all parts of our country.
