A Service of Shadows J. B. Quisenberry

""I was very impressed with the tenebrae service ... I like the way it flows and keeps the message before us.""
Rev. Len Huff, Pastor

""(A Service Of Shadows) is an exceptional Maundy Thursday service -- from the sacredness of the Passover to the prayer in the Garden; of Jesus accepting his Father's will. The congregation goes from light to darkness and back to light.""
Rev. Maurice Wright, Pastor
New Unionville Baptist Church
Bloomington, Indiana

""A Service Of Shadows"" offers congregations a complete tenebrae service with a suggested order of service and an alternative ending with holy communion.

This impressive service includes 15 candles and parts for up to 15 readers. As the Passion narrative is read, these candles will be extinguished one at a time as directed in the service.
