MOTHERING SUNDAY
FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
Christ Church St. Augustin’s
Welcome to our worship today:
10.00 a.m. Holy Communion (Christ Church)
10.00 a.m. Holy Communion (St. Augustin’s)
6.00 p.m. Evening Service (St. Augustin’s)
No Evening Service at Christ Church
Today is the 4th Sunday in Lent sometimes called Laetare Sunday. This Sunday gets its name from the first few word of the traditional Latin entrance (Introit) for the Mass of the day "Laetare Jerusalem" ("Rejoice, O Jerusalem") is Latin from Isaiah 66:10. We celebrate it as Mothering Sunday and all that mothering implies. There are three elements to our service of celebration. Firstly those who are our natural mothers and all those who mother us. Secondly Mary the Mother of Jesus and all her care and love which sets a good example for everyone. Finally Mother Church the church which we use and see as place of care and nurture. God of course cares for all of us but depends on individuals to carry out this care. Today is a day of thanksgiving for all who care for us now and in the past.
Administration of the chalice has been re-introduced at both churches. The giving of Communion is at the altar rail. N.B. Wafers must not be dipped into the chalice.
Gluten-free wafers are available – please let us know if you need these.
Hymns at 10.00 a.m. at Christ Church & St. Augustin’s:
A&M 739 Now thank we all our God
A&M 537 For the beauty of the earth
