Church members, young and old, who have attended these two services have claimed it was the most gripping and meaningful Holy Week they have ever experienced. Each year churches seek to portray in some way the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus. This presentation offers a creative approach, bringing new power to the observance of a timeless, historic event.By placing a casket at the front of the church and conducting a contemporary funeral service, the Good Friday service offers an innovative approach to the day's observance. The coffin remains (from Good Friday) at the front of the church for the Easter sunrise service. Seven participants are required for this 45-minute service, intended to be used with Funeral Service For Jesus.
