Sunday Worship: The Sunday before Lent (Quinquagesima)

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.

Pastor Shane will preaching from Romans 5:3-5.

The Collect and Lesson for the Sunday before Lent.
O LORD, who hast taught us that all our doings without charity are nothing worth; Send thy Holy Ghost and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of charity, the very bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whosoever liveth is counted dead before thee; Grant this for thine only Son Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.
