Figuring our Faith with Peter

Good Friday, “Prone to leave the God I love”

John 13:31-38, 18:1-11, 18:12-18, 18:19-27, 19:1-30

On this Holy Day, we are paying close attention to how Peter acts in Jesus’ final hours. So much happens in a short amount of time: Jesus predicts Peter’s denial, soldiers come and Peter draws his sword, Jesus is arrested and Peter denies him, Peter denies Jesus again and again and the cock crows, then Jesus is crucified and dies. Peter is prone to mess up, to fight, to deny, to leave, to seek safety for himself. But aren’t we all? May we lament all the ways we are prone to leave the God we love.

In this somber worship, we will explore this revelation of God’s deep and profound love through creative expression. Please join us.
