God strengthens us Sunday by Sunday with His Word and the Means of Grace, including the Preaching of His Word and the Fellowship of Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

The Lessons for the Second Sunday in Lent speak of enemies of God’s Word and their threats against God’s Prophets and His Son Jesus. In the Old Testament Lesson, the prophet Jeremiah is threatened with death (Jeremiah 26:8). In the Holy Gospel Jesus laments over Jerusalem “the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!” (Luke 13:34). In the Epistle St Paul speaks of “many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, who walk as enemies of the cross of Christ” (Philippians 3:18).

Our task will be to explore God’s plan, despite His enemies, to bring all to say “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’” (Luke 13:35). 

Fellowship will follow the Service as usual, and at 10:30 we’ll be continuing our study of what God's Word says about Satan. Bible Study will be available on the same Zoom link as used for Worship. The Sunday Bible Study Guide will be posted with the Service Folder.

If you cannot be among God's people in person this Sunday, you can join us by Zoom.

To join Zoom by computer, go to our home page. On the home page, to the right of the photo slideshow, click on “Sunday Worship” and you will be taken directly to the Zoom link.

You can access this Sunday’s resources directly at this link. The Service Folder and the Bible Study Guide will both be there. The Zoom recording of the Service will be available to any who ask by email to Pastor.MtCalvaryep@gmail.com and may be posted on the website, depending on availability of space.

Our Call Committee has mailed all members bios of candidates to be considered for a Call as our full time Pastor. A congregational meeting will be held this Sunday, 13 March, at 2pm. The sole agenda item will be to decide together on a Pastor to call into our Fellowship and Mission.

Lenten Midweek Services continue this Wednesday, 16 March at 6pm. A light supper will be provided by our Hospitality Committee at 5:15 pm. More details will come in another email on Tuesday, including Zoom information for whose who choose to worship from home.
