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 Godâs Word and their threats against Godâs 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 âthe city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!â (Luke 13:34). In the Epistle St Paul speaks of âmany, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, who walk as enemies of the cross of Christâ (Philippians 3:18).
Our task will be to explore Godâs plan, despite His enemies, to bring all to say âBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!ââ (Luke 13:35).Â
Fellowship will follow the Service as usual, and at 10:30 weâll 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.

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.
