Nightwatch
For more information, call 212-579-6210 or e-mail nightwatch@stjohndivine.org
Since 1975, this overnight program for High School and Junior High School youth groups has hosted thousands of people of all ages for one or two exciting nights of fun, discovery and worship at an overnight stay inside the Cathedral. Every weekend from October through May, groups of up to 100 youth and adults attend this weekend experience in one of the world’s most magnificent cathedrals.
The standard Nightwatch program includes:
* A chance for youth from different churches and denominations to meet one another in an atmosphere of games, music and learning.
* An opportunity to experience the Cathedral through one of its many ministries.
* A demonstration of the great organ while Nightwatchers have the Cathedral to themselves.
* A candlelight meditation utilizing the vast Cathedral space, and a quality worship experience, celebrating the Eucharist at the high altar.
* A daytime tour of the Cathedral, highlighting the story of the Cathedral as well as Christian tradition as it is embodied in the building.
Besides our usual school-year schedule, there will be two special Nightwatches. One exclusively for adults, held in conjunction with the annual Winter Solstice concert featuring Paul Winter. The other is Super Nightwatch, a massive overnight experience designed to include up to 800 people.
