GOOD FRIDAY • APRIL 2, 2021 Rev. Dr. P. Glenn Kinken III, Senior Minister Rev. Bret Cogan & Rev. Susannah Pittman, Liturgists Jonathan Emmons, Director of Music Ministries Susan Bates, Organist/Music Associate Centenary Chamber Ensemble Ken Wilmot, Trumpet GREETING INTROIT Ah, Holy Jesus — Donald McCullough Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended, that mortal judgment has on you descended? By foes derided, by your own rejected, O most afflicted! Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon you? It is my treason, Lord, that has undone you. ‘Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you, I crucified you. For me, dear Jesus, was your incarnation, your mortal sorrow, and your life’s oblation; your death of anguish and your bitter passion, for my salvation. Therefore, dear Jesus, since I cannot pay you, I do adore you and will ever pray you, think on your pity and your love unswerving, not my deserving. INVOCATION THE LORD’S PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not Centenary United Methodist Church into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
