Sunday Worship: The Sunday before Lent (Quinquagesima) & Bishop Ken’s Visit

We are in the Pre-Lenten Season as we prepare ourselves for the great Lenten fast. The Sunday has traditionally been called “Quinquagesima,” which means 50, as in 50 days until Easter.

Our Bishop Ken Ross will be with us for his annual visit, preaching and doing confirmations. We will be having a potluck after service at Chuck & Nicole Hunter’s house.

The Collect and Lesson for the Sunday before Lent.

Lord, you have taught us that whatever we do without love is worth nothing send your Holy Spirit and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love, the true bond of peace and all virtues; for without love whoever lives is reckoned dead by you. Grant this for the sake of your only Son, Jesus Christ ourLord. Amen.
