Gethsemane Watch

Gethsemane Watch

In your preparation for Easter, consider participating in St. Michael’s Gethsemane Watch. The watch represents the time Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane wanting the disciples to stay awake with him. It begins immediately following the Maundy Thursday Service and concludes at the start of the Good Friday 8:30am Stations of the Cross. The watch takes place in the Columbarium and it is a time of silence. Spiritual books and writings will be available. Please consider “sitting in the garden” to watch and pray with Jesus.

Please note that more than one or two can sign up for any given time and it is preferable for there to be at least two people per slot in the wee hours of the night in addition to the security guard we hire for the night. Sign up on the board in the narthex on Sundays and contact the church office with questions.
