Maundy Thursday The Watch

for 1 hour
Harbour Church - All Saints
All Saints Church 334 Commercial Road Portsmouth, PO1 4BT, United Kingdom

You are invited to stay for The Watch, a period of silent, prayerful presence following the Maundy Thursday service. This tradition responds to Jesus’ poignant question in the Garden of Gethsemane: "Could you not keep watch with me for one hour?" It is a time for adoration in the stillness of the darkened church, allowing you to sit with the gravity of the night and simply "be" with Christ before the events of Good Friday unfold. This transition from the communal meal to the solitary trial of the Cross offers a powerful space for personal reflection.
