Join us this Sunday as we bid farewell to that joyful word “Alleluia.”
Because this is the last Sunday before Lent starts (Ash Wednesday is next Wednesday, March 9), we will retire the word for Lent, as we always do, and refrain from saying “Alleluia” during the season of Lent, before bringing it back in a very glorious way on Easter morning.
This Sunday, at the end of our Eucharist and as we sing a final hymn full of Alleluias, the children of the congregation will come forward and as Fr. Jamie takes down the Alleluia banner from the altar and places it in a box, they will take the alleluia banner out and “bury” it somewhere in the church until Easter Sunday.
So, join us this Sunday as we bid a temporary farewell to Alleluia and celebrate our last Sunday before Lent begins.
We will also be dedicating our beautiful new altar rail during the service.
And don’t forget to join us for our Ash Wednesday service on at 7:00 pm Wednesday, March 9 at St. Stephen's.
