LENT 3

Week Beginning 7 March 2010

 

 

INTRODUCTION

Our focus today is on that old fashioned virtue of repentance. So with repentant hearts, lifted by the knowledge of God’s gracious forgiveness and new life in Jesus Christ, let us come with praise to Almighty God.

 

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading Isaiah 55:1-9

God, who is in every way far above mortals, calls the people of Israel to himself, inviting them to revel in his generous goodness.

 

Second Reading 1 Corinthians 10:1-13

The Apostle Paul uses the Israelites’ journey through the wilderness as a picture of his Corinthian readers’ Christian pilgrimage.

 

Holy Gospel Luke 13:1-9

Jesus uses the stories of two recent incidents, followed by a parable, to call his hearers to true repentance.

‘GOLDEN STARS’ SINGALONG

Last year we had a terrific response from people who said they would be interested in joining a weekly ‘Golden Oldies’ sing-a-long club. With this in mind we will be starting our new Golden Stars Club on Thursday 18 March from 1pm – 3pm each week. So why not come along with a friend and enjoy a fun time of song, laughter and a well earned cuppa. Entrance £2.

 

CAN WE DO IT ?

There isn’t much further to go in filling the Big Penny Pot at the back of church. So if you have any spare change pop it in and hopefully we’ll do it by Easter Sunday.
