Times to read include:
Thursday 8:00-10:00pm (in the Trinity sanctuary)
Thursday 10:00pm-Friday 5:00am (at Home)
Friday 6:00am- 5:00pm
(Good Friday T@316 begins at 7:00pm)
At the end of the Maundy Thursday Service (4/6) we will begin our “Vigil Reading at the Tomb.” This is a very quiet, personal, sacred invitation to step into a place we often don’t find or make in our lives. A time to sit alone (either at home or in the sanctuary at church) and breathe in deeply as you are invited to read words from our sacred text. Over the centuries, Christians have found times of reading scripture in this way an opportunity to touch something deep inside- a kind of ancient remembering of what was, what is and what has yet to come.
Between the end of our Maundy Thursday service and the beginning of our evening Good Friday service, we ask people to sign up to read. We have created a sign-up schedule asking folks to commit their hearts to this holy task for one or more hour-long slots.
We will email all who sign up further instructions. This year we are alternating between times both in the sanctuary and at home to make this opportunity as inclusive as possible. The goal is to get a continuous stream of our voices reading scripture over this (nearly) 24-hour period.
