Vigil at the Altar of Repose, 2024

with No Comments

MAUNDY THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 9 P.M. until dawn on Good Friday

The Vigil at the Altar of Repose begins upon the conclusion of the Maundy Thursday liturgy (around 8:45 p.m.) and continues through the night in McCaw chapel. This ancient practice is inspired by Jesus' question to his disciples in the Garden of Gethsemene, "Could you not stay awake with me one hour?" As in recent years, this vigil will be an online offering, with a live video available all night.

The length of the vigil depends on those who volunteer. For security, doors are locked, and each participant opens the door for the next at the beginning of each hour. (If someone arrives late and the chain is broken, the vigil concludes at that point.) In 2023, volunteers were present continually until 8 a.m.

If you are interested in spending an hour in prayer, please sign up for a slot here no later than Monday, March 25. Contact Sacristan Michael Seewer with questions: mseewer@saintmarks.org

The first Third Acters Potluck Brunch will be this Sunday, February 25, 12:30–2 p.m. in Leffler House as well as on Zoom.

FIRST MEETING: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 3–4:30 P.M., online via Zoom

UPDATE: The March 12 meeting has been cancelled due to illness.

Saint Mark’s retiree group, the “Third Acters,” is for people approaching retirement, or those already retired who are seeking support, knowledge, and a joyful community for the “Third Act,” of our journey on Earth. Linzi Stahlecker will join us on Zoom the second Tuesday of every month, 3-4:30 p.m. The first meeting on Tuesday, November 14 will be an Open House for everyone to share or observe.

A guidebook for our journey will be Richard Rohr’s Falling Upward, which challenges the prevailing cultural myths about aging.

To get the Zoom link to join, contact Kathy Minsch (kminsch@gmail.com) or Elizabeth Clark-Stern (ecstern@yahoo.com)
