Liturgy of Good Friday

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Nicholas, Harpenden
Church Green (right in the town centre) Harpenden, AL5 2TP, United Kingdom

We mark the most solemn day of the Christian calendar with a service of words and music, silence and symbolism reflecting on the Cross and Passion of Jesus Christ - his death by crucifixion and the transforming sacrificial love that it demonstrated.
We gather, in a church stripped bare except for a large wooden cross, to hear the story of Jesus' trial, crucifixion and death, and to reflect on its meaning. The service includes music, Bible readings, prayers and silence, as well as space and opportunity to kneel before the Cross in worship.

St Nicholas, Harpenden

St Nicholas Church is at the heart of the town...in every sense.  Shaped by the love and call of Jesus Christ, we seek to give a warm and inclusive welcome to all, to encourage rooted belonging in a living tradition, to grow a lively and curious Christian faith and to offer hopeful and compassionate service.

All are welcome to all our services, where we hope you will find a spiritual home and discover the peace, joy and strength that come from knowing God.
