This
Good Friday Tenebrae is a simple, moving, but somewhat different
service. It's format is a 32-page booklet with the first page blank
so that the user can use a pre-printed bulletin or use a
church-specific picture and/or text as the first page.
The
format of the service is a narrative, scripture reading, hymn, …
The passion story itself comes from the gospel of John. There is no
sermon; the service itself is the sermon.
The
service is both new and traditional. Most folks will learn
something new but yet recognize and appreciate much that they
remember.
The
service is intended to be printed as a brochure/booklet landscape on
legal 8 1/2 x 14" paper. Add your own cover and credits to
the front. Replace the last page artwork with your own
announcements.
The
service is available in .pdf and .odt file formats. The .odt is
an Open Office Writer format. Open Office is free open source
software that "competes" with Microsoft Office and is
available at www.openoffice.org. Use the .odt if you wish to
make changes to the service. Use the .pdf to keep your life a
bit simpler.
The
requirements for the service are 2 people to read, 1 accompanist, and
a candle holder for the 7 candles. All of the hymns are in the
public domain.
