Third Sunday in Lent

The heavens tell the glory of God' in Psalm 19, God speaks 'all the words' of the Ten Commandments in Exodus, and a woman is accused of breaking one of these ten in John. When read with the other two, Jesus' reaction in the tension and grace-filled story of the latter is first puzzling, then intriguing, and finally inviting. Please take the time to read and sit with these passages before church on Sunday.

This Sunday we will mark, in song and in prayer, a year of Covid-19, with a shared lament and bell ringing for the thousands who have died in our city, province and country.
