The Fifth Sunday In Lent

The Fifth Sunday In Lent

O Almighty God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men: Grant unto thy people that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

In the image above from the Faith Window of Saint Thomas Church, Christ forgives the woman taken in adultery (John 8:1-11). The scribes and Pharisees say to Jesus, “Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?” Jesus replied, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” To the woman he said, “go, and sin no more.” This evening Fr Daniels preaches the eighth sermon in the Commandments as Good News series, on “No Adultery.”

About Choral Evensong: Based on the services held daily in the medieval Church, Choral Evensong as arranged in the Book of Common Prayer of the Anglican Church has been sung regularly since the Sixteenth Century. Many people who are new to worship at Saint Thomas prefer to come to Choral Evensong because it is relatively contemplative. The service includes readings (just as would occur at Evening Prayer) and prayers led by a priest. An anthem as well as a setting of the Magnificat and the Nunc dimittis are sung by the choir. Read more about Choral Evensong here, or view the Choral Evensong Service Card posted a few days prior to this service to the bottom of this page, where links to the webcast are posted during and after the service.

‚ñ∫There is no Mass following Choral Evensong on Sundays. If you would like to make your Holy Communion for the week, consider attending one of the morning Eucharists, or else at any of the other sixteen masses at Saint Thomas later this week.

‚ñ∫The Rector anticipates Holy Week in his weekly audio message.
