Good Friday
Remote Prayer Vigil
Friday, April 18th
6:00 AM to Midnight
This year we will observe Good Friday a little differently than we have in the past. We will join together in an 18-hour prayer vigil that allows us to collectively offer prayers to God throughout the day, evening, and into the night while individually or as families reflecting on Christ’s suffering and sacrifice. You can pray from home, at a park, or wherever you may be on Friday, April 18. The time from 6 am to midnight will be divided into half hour time slot. You are welcome to sign up for as many time slots as you like. You are also welcome to invite your extended family, friends, and neighbors to join in. Suggested scripture readings and other “prayer starter” materials will be available on the table in the Commons or by email. A sign-up will go out early next week.
Additionally, local Presbyterian Good Friday service information will be shared
