Good Friday: A Holy Pause at the Synod Office

The Office of the Bishop will be closed on Friday, April 3, 2026, in observance of Good Friday.

On this most solemn day of the church year, we pause at the foot of the cross, remembering Christ’s suffering and death for the sake of the world. Good Friday calls us into deep reflection on love poured out, sacrifice freely given, and hope waiting to be revealed.

We invite you to hold this day with prayer, worship, and quiet attentiveness to God’s presence. The synod office will reopen on Monday, April 6.

A Prayer:

Crucified Christ, hold us in the shadow of your cross. Teach us to trust your love even in suffering, and prepare our hearts for resurrection hope. Amen.
