The Friday before Easter, traditionally known as Good Friday, is an important day in the life of those who follow Jesus.  Good Friday is when we specifically set aside time to remember the suffering, trial, and death of Jesus.  Our faith is built upon the events of that dark Friday and the triumph we find in the resurrection on Easter Sunday.  There are many ways to observe Good Friday, the day Jesus died on a cross for our sins.

We encourage you to gather together with your small group, family, or friends to remember the price Jesus paid for us.  We’ve created a Good Friday guide to help as we engage more deeply with Good Friday.

In my experience, this is one of the most deeply meaningful times I’ve ever spent with my friends and small group.  The opportunity to read together the story of Jesus’ betrayal, trial, and death is powerful.  The chance to celebrate communion in a smaller setting while remembering the last supper is stirring.  Praying together while reflecting on the last words of Jesus is moving.  (And that’s just three of the suggestions listed in the Good Friday Guide).

I hope you pick up a Good Friday guide at CCC on Sunday or download one HERE and use it as a part of your Good Friday celebration this year.
