Join us for this quiet and reflective time of worship.
The word “Tenebrae” means darkness. In this service, eight
candles are gradually extinguished, symbolizing the flight and denial of the
disciples and friends of Jesus after the crucifixion. A ninth candle, symbolizing
Christ, remains lighted throughout the service: the light of Christ can never
be extinguished. In that light we find forgiveness and fellowship in communion
with our Lord.
At Brecksville
United Methodist Church, our doors are open to everyone. We strive to live by these words, spoken by John Wesley: “Whoever you
are; in whatever faith you were born, whatever creed you profess, if you
come to this house to find God, you are welcome." We are
constantly growing and learning how we can be more welcoming to those in
the community, both nearby and further afield. Whatever your age, race,
background, vocation, orientation or belief system, we invite you to
come and experience God’s grace with us.
