Come and join in the disciple’s intimate experience of the Passover celebration with Jesus. The evening begins with the expectation of an enjoyable remembrance of the Hebrew people’s deliverance from slavery in Egypt. But Jesus has something else in mind. This meal is the height of closeness among the twelve and their leader. Feel the jarring effect of our Lord’s arrest in the midst of such a wonderful setting, followed by the desertion of him by all his followers. As the story of this night unfolds, darkness will envelope our worship service.

Together, we will journey through Jesus’
final moments through the eyes of his
disciple, Peter. In Peter, we see a little of all of us—he is devout and resolute, zealous and rash, and even fearful and flawed. If any of us can locate ourselves in the crucifixion story, it is likely we can see ourselves in Peter. This is a service of confession, lament, and repentance. Through Peter’s experience, we will consider our own. We will look closely at the events of Good Friday to help us honestly assess who we are. As Jesus tells Peter the truth about himself, we will consider the truth about ourselves.
