Today we mourn the death of Christ. The Liturgy of the Eucharist, which the Church throughout the world celebrates every other day of the year, is a proclamation of Christ’s victory over death. The lack of that liturgy on Good Friday reminds us of the immense agony and humiliation that Jesus went through to bring about that victory. You may notice other unusual things at your church today. The altar will be stripped bare, and depending on the church you go to, there is little to no music. On Good Friday, the scriptures are fulfilled - "it is finished".

Wishing all Christ The Redeemer staff, students and families a blessed Easter and fun-filled spring break! Classes will resume on Monday, April 25th 🐰
