Good Friday – April 7, 2023 Worship Service

Join us on Friday April 7th at 10:30am for a Cross Walk through Old Ellicott City as we take a little time to love our friends, family and community. The walk will culminate at Emory United Methodist Church, Ellicott City located in the middle of the Ellicott City Historic District for a short Good Friday Service and Meditation at 12 noon.
This is a wonderful activity that the whole family can participate in…bring your family and friends to celebrate the joy of Easter with your community. All are welcome!

A Service of Tenebrae, or “Shadows,” is a prolonged meditation on Christ’s suffering and is is based on a twelfth–century late night/early morning service and is an extended meditation on the passion of Christ. Good Friday readings trace the story of Christ’s passion, music portrays his pathos, and the power of silence and darkness suggests the drama of this momentous day. As lights are extinguished, we ponder the depth of Christ’s suffering and death; we remember the cataclysmic nature of his sacrifice as we hear the overwhelming sound of the “strepitus”; and through the return of the small but persistent flame of the Christ candle at the conclusion of the service, we anticipate the joy of ultimate victory.

You can also join us for Maundy Thursday Service, the Historic Ellicott City Easter Community Sunrise Service at the Wine Bin and our Ellicott City Easter Day Traditional Service at Emory United Methodist Church.

On Thursday April 6th at 7:00pm we will hold a Holy Thursday Worship Service at at Gary Memorial United Methodist Church at 2029 Daniels Road, Ellicott City, MD 21043 retelling of the events of Holy Thursday including the last supper and our Lord’s final hours with his disciples before his death on the cross.

  • Download and print out this Palm leaf template (the template also has the directions on it)
  • Cut template along the dotted line.
  • Fold a piece of green paper (or another if you don’t have green) in half and paper clip the template so the dotted line is along the fold.
  • Cut through the template and both layers of construction paper along the black lines.
  • Separate and use the template to make multiple leaves if you wish.
  • Unfold the construction paper to see your finished palm leaf.
  • Take a pipe cleaner, stick/dowel or a tightly rolled second piece of paper and tape it to the center as a stem.

You are now ready to wave your palm branches while shouting “Hosanna!” as you participate in our live-streamed service at 9:30 a.m. Sunday.
