GATHERING

Prelude for Good Friday S. Scott

GREETING AND WELCOME

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.

PRAYER in unison

We veil our faces before your glory,

O Holy and Immortal One,

and bow before the cross of your wounded Christ.

With angels and archangels,

we praise you, our Mercy,

and we bless you, our Compassion,

for in our brokenness

you have not abandoned us.

Hear us as we pray through Jesus, our high priest:

heal all division,

reconcile the estranged,

console the suffering,

and raise up to new life

all that is bound by death. Amen.
