Just kidding but I did think it might be an interesting topic particularly being postings have been few and far apart lately.
Anyway I am on our local Episcopal cathedral's email list and I just received this one from them and I thought I'd share it for conversation sake.

A Virtual Vigil: Sign-up to Keep Watch at the Altar of Repose
This year we will keep watch on the night of Maundy Thursday to Good Friday by holding a "virtual vigil." Although our physical bodies cannot be present in the chapel with the reserved sacrament, we will be broadcasting a picture of the Altar of Repose and invite parishioners to sign up for a time to tune into this broadcast and “keep watch” with Jesus in the Garden from home. A person keeping watch can pray, ponder scripture, read devotional material, say a service from the Book of Common Prayer, or maintain a simple loving attentiveness to God. We will send a more detailed explanation of how this virtual vigil will work as the time grows closer. All you will need to participate is a device with an internet connection.
There should be at least one person signed up for each hour, though more are welcome. We're using SignUp.com to organize our sign up.
