The church will have a Good Friday worship service, or Service of Tenebrae, tonight, April 22 at 8 o'clock in the sanctuary. The word 'tenebrae' is a medieval latin word meaning "darkness". It's modern usage for the church is during Holy Week, celebrated as the Service of Shadows. As readings depict the final days and hours of the life of Jesus, candles are extinguished. At the end of the service people leave quietly to return to their homes.

Many area churches are participating and all are welcome to come. The Matawan Methodist Church is located at the corner of Church Street and Atlantic Ave, Aberdeen, NJ.
