Stemming from Latin, the word “Tenebrae” means “darkness.” Such a definition is suitable for this service, which centers around the increasing darkness of the church as the lights in the sanctuary are extinguished. While believers are considering the significance of the darkness, a loud noise is heard, either from an instrument, a book dropped on the floor or church bells.  As a service with deep biblical meaning, each part of Tenebrae sets the mood for the congregation as they consider the darkness of that day as the Savior hung on the cross and died for the sins of the world. 

We ask that congregants leave the church in silence.
