Good Friday at Fitzroy (7pm) sees a reflective service that will give opportunity to concentrate on the events of Jesus crucifixion. The marvellous Philip Mateer will recite Chapters 14 and 15 of the Gospel According To Mark which will be peppered by other poems and prayers and songs, some of the latter featuring the voice of amazing Caroline Orr and a brand new songs from David Thompson. No sermons, just the text opened up. A poignant way to spend Good Friday.
After two days in the sorrow of Good Friday Sunday (11am) will take up the story again and we will celebrate the resurrection. A baptism will be a lovely symbol of dying and rising and the band will no doubt be leading us in bigger and louder songs than Friday's solemnity. Stockman will preach and consider how anger breaks relationships but forgiveness and grace restores!
