Which Prayer vigil are you referring to Sabrina? The Watch and Pray vigil that we did last year on Good Friday? If so, I really wish / hope more people would take part. I think it was a very surreal experience. Honestly, all of that weekend was. The Maundy Thursday service was probably the most moving service I have ever been to. If we are repeating the services as we did during Lent, I hope that others turn out to see what all of the changes in the Sanctuary were about. That the Maundy Thursday service / Good Friday evening pulled everything together. Yes, it was a bit theatrical (as some people complained about), but THAT is what kept my attention and THAT is what made the services for me. I have never, before that week, gone to my friends and actually told them what a moving experience I had at church. I mean, when I was telling people I was still getting choked up. And I hope other show up this year for the Watch and Pray vigil. It was not just a nice time to spend the night with friends from church getting to know each other more, but also the surrealness of spending my hour alone in the church watching over the cross and tomb. Although I will admit it was a bit scary with nothing but the wind blowing and the roof making noises! I thought God was trying to tell me to get out! LOL
