Sunday of the Passion, year A, 5 April 2020

April 5, 2020 By Pr. Joseph Crippen

Sunday of the Passion

Today, with the ancient Church, we remember Christ’s entry into Jerusalem to the cries and cheers of Hosanna! and the waving of branches. But the triumph of this day was hidden to all, only to be seen on Friday, and then Sunday. For the triumphant King will draw all creation into God’s heart when lifted up on the cross. So the ancient Church also read from a Passion account on this day.

Readers today: David Anderson, Assisting Minister; Chandler Molbert, Amy Thompson, Pr. Crippen (Matthew’s Passion)

Attached is a pdf for worship in the home on this day. There are some materials you might want to prepare before you worship that will enhance today’s worship in the home. (A list was sent Friday, and is also included in this pdf.) All the links to sound and video are now embedded in the pdf, so all you need to do is open it up, and as you pray, go to each link as you are ready.

Midweek Lenten devotions, April 1, 2020

April 1, 2020 By Pr. Joseph Crippen

Grace and peace, beloved in Christ!

For our Lenten midweek worship we normally celebrate Eucharist at noon and Vespers in the evening. I encourage you to find whatever way of praying works for you, together or alone. Here’s a page with a possible Prayer for the Day, plus the readings and psalm we chose for this Wednesday in Lent. https://files.constantcontact.com/75414de0501/4fb8e143-b8a2-427b-bb5a-8cce1137e7bb.pdf

Here is a link to my reflections on these texts: https://youtu.be/66t6I_2g8JY

Fifth Sunday in Lent, March 29, 2020

March 29, 2020 By Pr. Joseph Crippen

Grace and peace, beloved in Christ!

Attached are links to help us all worship in the home, much as the ancient Church did (though without the Internet!).

Here is a pdf of a page with the liturgy, with a possible order for your worship, and the prayer of the day, readings, and hymn texts. You might want to open each link in a separate tab in your browser, otherwise you won’t be able to have the liturgical sheets open and also easily click on the video and audio. The links are all cued in these liturgy pages. 5 Lent A – 03-29-20
