Solemn Eucharist 11 a.m.
On the First Sunday in Lent we always hear the story of Jesus spending 40 days in the wilderness, tempted by “Satan”. The story is very compressed in St. Mark’s Gospel, we go from Baptism to wilderness to Galilee in the space of six verses. Morning and Evening Prayer will not be said regularly in St. John’s this week. Normal times (excepting Thursday afternoons) will resume next week (from Monday 20th).

On this Sunday we hear the story of Jesus’ Transfiguration on the mountain. This is the “turning point” in the Synoptic Gospels. From here Jesus sets his face towards Jerusalem and The Cross. During the days of Lent there will be weekday worship at St. John’s as follows:
Wednesdays 11 a.m. Holy Eucharist (beginning on 29th February) Thursdays 4 p.m. Evening Prayer followed by silent prayer with the Blessed Sacrament. Fridays 11 a.m. Stations of the Cross Sung Eucharist 11 a.m.
As the lectionary turns towards Lent we hear Jesus calling Levi/Matthew and telling his disciples he has come to “not the righteous but sinners”. Preacher: Fr. John Marchant Morning and Evening Prayer will not be said regularly in St. John’s in the week beginning Monday 6th February owing to a variety of commitments.
