Other Information:
The First Presbyterian Church of River Forest will offer a “Service of Darkness” on Good Friday, April 3, at 7:00 pm, to reflect on the events of Holy Week and Jesus’ journey to the cross. The First Pres Choir will present John Rutter’s deeply meaningful “Requiem.” The service will include readings, hymn singing, extinguishing of light, and the choral tradition of presenting the scripture through song. An instrumental ensemble will accompany the choir, directed by Jane Holstein, director of music. This Good Friday service, a reflective service with a quiet and somber feel, is open to all, regardless of religious affiliation.
