Seventh Sunday After Epiphany

Dear St. Paul's,

This Sunday marks the 2nd Sunday before Lent, or, the 60th day before Easter. Though we are on our way to Lent, wherein we focus our devotions on Christ's Passion, we do so still during the season of Epiphany. This week we'll hear about the second part of the Sermon on the Mount, which follows after the Beatitudes we heard last week (when Rev. Page's shared her testimony; be sure to check that out on our steaming pages if you missed it!).

I look forward to worshipping with you all!

In Christ,

Fr. Trent Pettit

Sunday Worship

COLLECT OF THE DAY

O Lord, you have taught us that without love whatever we do is worth nothing: Send your Holy Spirit and pour into our hearts your greatest gift, which is love, the true bond of peace and of all virtue, without which whoever lives is accounted dead before you. Grant this for the sake of your only Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
