Good Friday

Today is Good Friday. We went to a Good Friday service at 9:30 am. In the morning? Yep. How can that be on a working weekday, you may ask? Reason being....Good Friday is celebrated as a holiday throughout much of India. Most schools, businesses (including US ones, like Google and Microsoft), banks, gov't offices, etc. in Hyderabad are closed....including non-Christian ones. Some even have Monday off in commemoration of Easter. I can't recall ever having Good Friday or the Monday following Easter off as a holiday in the USA.

So today's weekday morning Good Friday service was full at SBF.

The youth performed a touching drama using the song "Above All".
