“The Seven Candles and the Approaching Darkness”
Welcome
Call to Worship
We gather tonight in the shadow of the Cross.
Evil abounds. Jesus goes forth to suffer and die.
How we tremble with fear!
How we weep.
Why have we forsaken Him?
Why have we betrayed and run from his Passion?
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
