BOB Good Holy Thursday morning. This is Bob Peden of Central, a United Methodist Community in downtown Meridian. On the night when Jesus was betrayed and arrested, he went to the Garden of Gethsemane, taking with him James, John, and Peter. He had one request of them. Stay and keep watch with me as I pray. His request haunts us to this day. Will we stay and keep watch with Jesus. Tonight at 7 PM in the sanctuary at Central, we will spend an hour praying with Jesus. We will share in the bread and juice, His body and blood. We will sing a few hymns and hear the story of his betrayal, crucifixion, and death. Then, we will watch in silence as the pascal candle, representing Jesus's very life is extinguished. You are invited to join us this evening in the meaningful time of preparation for the coming Easter. Will you spend an hour this evening watching with Jesus?
