Good Friday Evening Service (7:00pm)

Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ following his time in the desert and his triumphal re-entrance into Jerusalem. This is a very important event in our church and we are holding this special service on Good Friday to remind our congregation about Christ’s suffering. Join us for a time of Music & Readings led by Rev Andrew Robinson & the Stokesley Methodist Choir to help us reflect on this part of the Easter story.

It can seem strange that a day of death and suffering is known as ‘Good’ Friday. There are a number of theories as to why the day marking the crucifixion of Jesus is known in this way.  The word ‘Good’ may be a different spelling or rendering of ‘God’ or it may have another, now lost, meaning of ‘holy’. Another theory is that the tragedy of the crucifixion of Jesus brought great ‘good’ to his followers. Whatever you think or believe, Christ died for us.

All are welcome to join us for this service of Remembrance. Good Friday is a sad day but we can take joy that Jesus gave up his life for the good of everyone.
