Good Friday Ecumenical Service
Friday, April 14, 5:10 pm, Goddard Chapel
As an Easter people, we must not forget that the brightness of morning only comes by way of the night. Like Christians all over the world, we will gather on Good Friday to sit with the darkness and listen to God’s word. As a community, we come together so that we might be truly present to one another and to ourselves, in all of our beauty and brokenness. Join us on Good Friday for a time of prayer and song as we keep vigil and stay awake to the tombs in our world and the tombs in our hearts. Let by Catholic Chaplain Lynn Cooper and Protestant Chaplain Dan Bell. Sponsored by the University Chaplaincy. For more information please contact chaplaincy@tufts.edu.

Easter Sunday Mass
Sunday, April 16, 11 am, Goddard Chapel
Join us in celebrating the Resurrection of the Lord at Goddard Chapel. After our journey through the wilderness of the Lenten season and the stilled darkness of Good Friday and Tomb Day, we look forward to celebrating with one another on Easter morning, when the light of new life pours through the chapel. Immediately following Mass we will have a light brunch in the common room. All are welcome and as always, come as you are.
