Welcome to this Tenebrae Service jointly officiated by the pastors of:

• Graham Memorial Presbyterian Church in Forrest City
• Wynne Presbyterian Church in Wynne
• First Presbyterian Church of Jonesboro
• First Presbyterian Church of Walnut Ridge

The word ‘Tenebrae’ is a latin word for darkness. During the service seven readings are shared and after each a candle is extinguished until the celebrants are left in darkness. We then wait for the light of Christ to come again.

This service is a poignant reminder of the tremendous suffering that Christ went through on our behalf. By reflecting on Christ’s crucifixion, we prepare our hearts to be all the more joyful when we celebrate his resurrection.
