This Sunday is the sixth Sunday after Epiphany and the last Sunday of Epiphanytide. This coming Tuesday is Shrove Tuesday, so named after the practice of priests of the medieval Catholic Church “shriving” penitents on this day, hear their confessions, granting them absolution, and assigning penances, in preparation for Lent. It is also known as Pancake Day. What remained of fat and eggs was used to make pancakes. This coming Wednesday is the first day of Lent, commonly called Ash Wednesday. In the medieval Catholic Church ashes were sprinkled on the heads of penitents on this day.
The topic of this Sunday’s message is grace.
Readings: Deuteronomy 11: 18-21, 26-28; Romans 1: 16-17; 3: 22b-31; and Matthew 7: 21-29
Message: What's So Amazing About Grace?
