Holy Vigil with Mary Magdalene
If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area for Easter weekend, you are invited to a special event on Saturday, April 4 at 7pm -- an experiential service that lets you accompany the "apostle to the apostles", St. Mary Magdalene, as she keeps vigil at Jesus' tomb the night before Easter morning. You will hear her story as told by writings that were omitted from the Bible, like the Gospel of Mary and the Gospel of Phillip. You will chant with her as she grieves but sings to keep up her courage in the dark. All are welcome to join us at College Heights Church, 1150 W. Hillsdale Blvd, San Mateo. If you want to join remotely, the Zoom link is https://zoom.us/j/996320920 For more information, contact Polly Moore at [email protected]
