On Friday night, April 6th many followers of Jesus gathered at Willamette Christian Church to remember the sacrifice of His life, the perfect Man who was crucified in our place.
Here’s the audio and service order of the Good Friday service, which includes three meditations [times in brackets]:
Call to Worship/Prayer
Beautiful Scandalous Night [1:30]
Reading: Matthew 26:36-50 [4:54]
THE GARDEN (Pastor Chris Nye) [6:52]
How Deep the Father’s Love [12:59]
Reading: Mark 14:53-65; 15:1-15 [16:23]
THE TRIALS (Pastor Andrew Martin) [19:50]
Around My Neck [27:19]

THE CROSS (Pastor Jeff Patterson) [34:30]
Lead Me to the Cross [51:25]
Behold the Lamb of God (written by Aaron Sternke) [56:22]
As the essence of sin is our substituting ourselves for God, the essence of salvation is God substituting Himself for us.
(A special thank you to everyone who contributed to that night, especially Aaron Sternke in leading worship, and Matt Hellems in overseeing all technical aspects of sound, lighting and visuals. A truly unified team effort.)
