12:00 noon-3:00 pm Good Friday Liturgy in the Church.
The Passion Gospel, with Veneration of the Cross.

Good Friday oratorio — Stainer, The Crucifixion
For our noon Good Friday service, the choir and soloists will present John Stainer's much beloved work, The Crucifixion. Though presented only rarely in recent decades, this substantial work was widely popular in the early 20th century, and is modeled to a degree on Baroque Passion settings like the Bach St. John, including several congregational chorales. It is a modest, solemn, and unquestionably sincere hour of music.
Please make time in your Good Friday to attend this midday service, which promises to be a memorable moment in our parish life.
3:00 pm Stations of the Cross in the Church.
GOOD FRIDAY PARKING: To avoid a parking ticket during the 3-hour service, arrive early and park at Children's Fairyland, 2 blocks from St. Paul's at Grand and Fairlawn. Buy 2, two-hour vouchers. Total cost $4.
