Quinquagesima Sunday

Dear St. Paul's,

This Sunday please join us to witness the Sacrament of Holy Baptism of

Chris Wolff at the 10:30 service.

It is also the last Sunday before Lent. It isn't the feast of the Transfiguration; but, it is an apt story to contemplate at the end of Epiphany and the beginning of Lent when we turn toward to focus our devotions on Christ's passion.

There are lots of things going on at the Church throughout Lent in order to enter deeply into the season, various studies, meals, and, of course, the stations of the cross. Let us follow Christ up the mountain this Sunday to let his light shine on us, such that we might descend with him as he heads to Jerusalem and toward, indeed, the glory of the cross!



In Christ,

Fr. Trent Pettit

COLLECT OF THE DAY

O God, who before the passion of your only ­begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
