"My soul is sorrowful, even unto death, stay awake and keep watch with me." (The Bible, book of Mark, chapter 14 verse 34).
This is the call we answer tonight.
There are people fearful and we would be with them.
There are people grieving and we would be there.
There are people who must make choices we are currently spared; and while we dare not counsel, we would they know they are not alone tonight.
In the darkness and the quiet we will be with them,
We will seek strength for and with them,
We will seek comfort for and with them,
And we will hope that each of us may rise, to answer the call we alone can discern in our hearts.
Amen
