Pastors and Worship Leaders: Are you looking for a script that really works for a one hour Good Friday Service? Here’s one that I developed and have used successfully. I’ve also added links to the songs and media.

If you like this script and are planning to use it this Good Friday. May I suggest that you support this blog with a small gift ($1-$5) via this PayPal account. (You can also use a credit card). Thanks!
Also… Check out my new book.. “Leading Worship ~ Notes from a Grand Adventure’available in Kindle or Soft Cover Editions. This is a great gift for the musician or worshipper in your life.
This is a very inspirational service. If we decide to use it, will we get the words for the 3 speakers? I’ve looked at the videos, but we aren’t equipped to show them
The scripts are available from SkitGuys.com
Thanks, and we’d have copy right to read them. Very meaningful.
I am very sorry but must be too dense to figure this out. I love the Good Fri. service and would love to present that to our pastor to use on GF. I thought it was free with a donation. I have gotten further but it seems like that particular section isn’t available. As far as I can tell, we’d need to buy the three words separately. I think the program is well worth the cost, however, we are a small church getting smaller every month. The chance of getting 20 people on Fri. is pretty slim. Can you please help?
You can certainly use my script for free.. but if you would like to use the Skitguys material.. you’d either have to pay or ask them for special permission.
