"Could you not keep awake one hour?" were the words of Jesus in reproach to his hapless followers in the first Gethsemane. Ever since, his disciples of subsequent generations have attempted to do better, and in some small way to make up what was lacking in the first bunch. Many congregations, following their Maundy Thursday liturgy (Agapé meal, washing of feet, and/or stripping of the altar) hold a vigil, or a  watch.

Click here to sign up for our Vigil, beginning at 9pm on Thursday evening through 6am Friday morning.

Come to the sanctuary for meditation for an hour.

Please do not leave until the person after you has arrived
Please pray in silence
