WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
The Good Friday service offers the community a time of reflection and silence in preparation for the joyous celebration of Easter. When we choose to gather across denominations, it helps us to remember to place God at the center of our worship. There will also be a free will offering collected for the MetroWest Free Medical Clinic at Congregation Beth El.
