Good Friday is a significant day for Christians worldwide as it commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. On March 29th, at 7pm, we invite you to attend the Good Friday service to remember the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made for all of humanity.

This solemn and reflective service will be a time for worship, prayer, and the reading of scriptures that focus on the crucifixion of Jesus. Through these readings, we will come to understand the depth of love and grace that Jesus extends to all.

The service will also provide an opportunity for personal reflection and contemplation on the significance of the cross and what it means for us as individuals. We believe that attending this service will be a meaningful and transformative experience for all who attend. We look forward to seeing you there.
