Moments from our 2026 Good Friday gathering.

“On Good Friday, finally, we are all, mourners and mockers alike, reduced to the same impotence. Someone else is doing the terrible work that gives life to the world.”
- Virginia Stem Owens

If this year has made it hard to hope—this week’s for you.

The world is loud. The week is heavy.
It was then — it is now.
But we arrive at Easter only by way of Holy Week.

We do not let this week rush by.
We slow down. We watch. We pray.
We follow Jesus toward the cross. Not because we enjoy the darkness, but because resurrection only comes by way of it.

Join us for Good Friday and then Easter Sunday, where we will worship and throw the party of the year. An After Party in the face of everything that says the darkness wins.

It does not.

As we enter this new year be reminded that in the incarnation human destiny has been forever reoriented. Over the last two Sundays of Christmastide we have lingered with that reality. Entering into this new year, whatever we might think we need or lack may we find ourselves caught up in the wonder of the God who has come down to be with us.
