Gather with us in person or through live stream as we share in the Last Supper that Jesus had with his disciples before his death and then listen to the story of the Passion according to the Gospel of John as candles are extinguished and we gradually descend into the darkness with Him. At the end of the service, we’ll depart in silence as the 15 hour overnight vigil begins.
From the close of the Maundy Thursday evening service through Good Friday at noon, we keep watch in the sanctuary before the single candle lit at the end of the Tenebrae service. This reproduces for us the experience the disciples being asked to watch and pray with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before He was Crucified. This year, despite the continuing pandemic, we will still maintain the sanctuary vigil since we can do so in a safe, socially distanced way. Beginning at 9:00 PM the Sanctuary will be open for vigil. Two individuals or pods are needed as anchors for each hour – sign up here to be an anchor to ensure that we have coverage throughout the night. All others are free to come at any time and stay as long as you would like. No sign up necessary.
