Today is Good Friday on the Christian calendar, marking the crucifixion of Jesus.
Pastor Bill Blair of Grace Church in Indiana says that the name “Good Friday” can be a little confusing. He says that it is considered “good” because it was the fulfillment of God’s plan for the salvation of mankind.
The day began with the YMCA Good Friday community breakfast, featuring Johnny Crowder, founder and CEO of Cope Notes, a text-based mental-health platform used in nearly 100 countries. Crowder shared his story about a near-death experience, and how it shifted his life into a new direction of purpose and hope.
Services will be held throughout the county today to commemorate.
Easter Sunday will feature sunrise services at many of our area churches, including Grace Church’s service at 6:30 a.m. at Blue Spruce Park.
