Lindsey and I go to a little house church called The Story. We only meet on Sunday nights, so we had to adjust the church calendar a bit to fit all the differenct Easter sevices in. Last Sunday we celebrated Palm Sunday and tonight we celbrated a Tenebrae Liturgy for Good Friday.We took the Tenebrae litugry from the Anglican Book of Occasional Services and then shortened it to about an hour. We also added some more interactive elements to the service (it is a pretty passive experience in the original form). Tenebrae means darkness or shadows and is focused upon the death of Jesus.
So here it is. If you need a Tenebrae Service liturgy, help yourself.
Hello - I came across your blog via google. I'm looking for a copy of the Anglican Book of Occasional Services, and was wondering if you knew where I could fine one. Or, maybe there's a publisher I should contact? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
