SUMMARY:The Fourth Sunday in Lent: Laetare Sunday
DESCRIPTION:This is the fourth of five Sundays in Lent before Palm Sunday\, which marks the beginning of Holy Week. This Sunday is called Laetare Sunday\, which literally means “rejoice. Why rejoice? In the Parable of the Prodigal Son in the Gospel of Luke\, the father tells us where joy is found: “For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!”  \nLaetare Sunday serves as a reminder that in the midst of this long penitential season of Lent — even unto the midst of our own self-inflicted\, wayward suffering — Christ came not to condemn\, but to save\, if only we turn to him. \nCollect: Gracious Father\, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which giveth life to the world: Evermore give us this bread\, that he may live in us\, and we in him; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, now and for ever. Amen. \nAppointed Readings: \n\nJoshua 5:9-12\nPsalm 32\n2 Corinthians 5:16-21\nLuke 15:1-3\, 11b-32\n\nWorship for the Fourth Sunday in Lent\n \nSunday 8am\, Sunday 10am \nAbout the Image\n \nA portion of Return of the Prodigal Son (c. 1661-69)\, Rembrandt \nResources \nParking and Accessibility\nGive via PayPal or Credit Card

SUMMARY:Palm Sunday (The Sunday of the Passion)
DESCRIPTION:The priest\, when blessing the palms on Palm Sunday\, is directed by the 1979 Book of Common Prayer (page 271) to say\, “It is right to praise you\, Almighty God\, for the acts of love by which you have redeemed us through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. On this day he entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph\, and was proclaimed as King of kings by those who spread their garments and branches of palm along his way. Let these branches be for us signs of his victory\, and grant that we who bear them in his name may ever hail him as our King\, and follow him in the way that leads to eternal life; who lives and reigns in glory with you and the Holy Spirit\, now and for ever. Amen.” \nThat “way that leads to eternal life” will take Jesus through persecution\, brutality\, trial\, conviction\, abandonment\, and death on a cross before he comes out the other side\, victorious\, on Easter Morn. Let there be no confusion\, then\, regarding the reason Palm Sunday is also called The Sunday of the Passion. \nCollect: Almighty and everlasting God\, who\, of thy tender love towards mankind\, hast sent thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our flesh\, and to suffer death upon the cross\, that all mankind should follow the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may both follow the example of his patience\, and also be made partakers of his resurrection; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord\, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen \nAppointed Readings: \nLiturgy of the Palms: \n\nPsalm 118:1-2\, 19-29\nLuke 19-28-40\n\nLiturgy of the Word: \n\nPsalm 31:9-16\nIsaiah 50-4-9a\nPhilippians 2:5-11\nLuke 23:1-49\n\nWorship Schedule for Palm Sunday\n \nSunday 8am\, Sunday 10am \nAbout the Image\n \nJesus enters Jerusalem\, relief in stone on the west facade\, Orvieto Cathedral\, Italy (c. 1310-31) \nResources \n1979 Book of Common Prayer\nParking and Accessibility\nGive via PayPal or Credit Card
