*Tenebrae is latin for darkness. The tenebrae service is a somber remembrance that the Father’s plan of hope for us included the death of His Son Jesus. As the service proceeds, candles and lights are progressively extinguished, leaving the congregation in relative darkness, to symbolise the world's darkness without Him.

**Glebe Churches combine to host a journey through Glebe in remembrance of Jesus’ last journey through the streets of Jerusalem to the hill of Calvary. Starting at St James’ Catholic Church at 11am (2 Woolley Street Forest Lodge NSW 2037), stopping at St Johns’ and ending at the Uniting Sydney Presbytery at 37 St Johns Rd, Glebe NSW 2037. Hot cross buns and coffee/tea will be served in the Presbytery grounds, while inside the building Pastor Ray Minniecon of Scarred Tree Indigenous Ministries is organising a gallery of  Aboriginal paintings of the stations of the cross by John Dunn, an Olkola/Djabaguy man from Far North Queensland.

“St Johns is a community brought together by
God’s unconditional love, shown to us through Jesus Christ.
This is our motivation to actively respect, include, value and nurture
all of our diverse community, within and outside of the church,
and encourage all to put their hope in God.”
