Prayer Vigil Schedule 2011

Prayer Vigil Schedule 2011

The prayer vigil will begin at 3pm on Good Friday, April 22. This is the traditionally accepted time of the crucifixion of Jesus. It will end 40 hours later, at 7am, Easter morning, April 24. The last hour of the prayer vigil will contain sunrise.

To commit to a particular hour, just leave a comment to this blog entry. As comments are received, I will update the schedule. Alternatively, you can email a member of the prayer vigil team (Kim, Steve, Mary or Jeff). You will also be able to sign up for a time at church.

Times listed in yellow below are times when the church will be open. If you sign up for one of these times, please specify if you would like to pray in the church or at home -- it is entirely your own choice and preference.

Prayer Host Schedule 2011

We are in need of prayer hosts. A prayer host is someone who will volunteer to be at the church during its open hours (Friday, 3pm to 9pm and Saturday, 7am to 9pm). The host's job:

• To make sure that the person who is praying at the church can get into the building.
• Be a presence in the building, so that the prayer person doesn't feel alone (the church is creepy when you are in it by yourself).
• Be a silent, unobstrusive presence. In other words, (how do I say this nicely?) leave the participant alone. This hour is for the praying volunteer to have alone with his/her God.
• If it is dark, you may want to offer to walk the partipant to her car.

We will have snack foods in the kitchen off the parlor. You can volunteer to serve any amount of time you like. If you wish, you can sign up to pray during your hosting time (but be aware that you will be in the church by yourself). To volunteer, check the schedule below and then leave a comment with the time period you are willing to cover. Thanks so much! Once the prayer vigil schedule is complete, I should be able to tell you who, if anyone, will be at the church for your shift. If not one is planning on praying at the church, then you will not need to come.
