Watch Our Service Live
The Third Sunday in Lent
March 23, 2025
TRADITIONAL PENITENTIAL RITES open both of our services today, as we mark the Third Sunday in Lent. At the 8:00 A.M. service, we offer A Penitential Order. This special use of the Confession of Sin at the very start of our worship calls each of us to continue to work hard at our Lenten discipline.
At the 10:15 A.M. service today, we include a recitation of The Decalogue – the Ten Commandments – with the responses sung by the Choir and Congregation. While not as widely used in the Church today, the Decalogue reminds us of God’s basic laws for us and stands as the foundation for laws in much of Western society. Many longtime Episcopalians will remember its use from times past.
Fr. Allan hopes your Lenten journey will be enriched by these and other special aspects of our Lenten worship.
