Overnight Vigil - April 2, 8:30 p.m. to April 3, 7 a.m.

Will you be the disciple who stays awake with Jesus and prays with him as he accepts a burden none of us could possibly bear?  You have that opportunity now during our Overnight Vigil at the Altar of Repose following the April 2 Maundy Thursday service, around 8:30 p.m.  We do many things together during Holy Week, but spending hours watching with Jesus during this vigil is a quiet, private, and still time spent in His presence at the most difficult moment of His life.  Take your own burdens there and pray with Him. 

For your safety, on-site security will be present all night. Please sign up in advance so our security guard will have an idea of who will be coming in throughout the night.

Details, hours, and how to sign up for the vigil are here.
