Welcome. If you will, come on in and find a seat. We want to welcome you to our Good Friday

service on Tuesday. And we are excited that you're here. And it means the world that you would carve out

some time in the middle of the week, in the middle of Holy Week, to come and sit under what God

would have for us tonight.

Here's our hope for our gathering tonight.

A couple of things that I would prepare you for.

One is it's going to feel differently than something you may have ever experienced before.

It's going to feel differently than a regular service that you would attend on a weekend here at 1122.

It's going to weigh differently

than an experience maybe you have been through before.

And so I would encourage you to not feel the obligation to respond in ways that are

traditionally held as normal.

When we sing, you don't have to stand and there's no behavior expected of you the desire

for us tonight is that we would sit in a spirit in a posture of contemplation in a from a place

of reflection as we look deep into the last hours of the life of christ we're going to go on a journey

tonight both musically and through the teaching of God's

word, where we look deep into the heart of the garden, where we look at the purpose and

the plan, and the experience of Jesus through the trial, and ultimately where we stare in the

face of the crucifixion of Christ.

And the heart of this is reflection.

The heart of this is contemplation.

And so we would ask that you would humbly sit and receive and respond as God would lead,
