7:15 pm–Midnight (Chapel) The Night Watch
Jesus asked his disciples to keep awake with him while he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. All are invited to heed his instructions by keeping watch over the reserved sacrament in his chapel. Come for a short period of time or stay all evening. As part of the Night Watch, join musicians from Imagine Worship for a time of meditative worship through song from 8:30 to 9:30 pm.
