Welcome to Sundays at All Hallows.
This Sunday is the Fourth Sunday in Lent, also known as Laetare Sunday, Mid-Lent Sunday, or Refreshment Sunday.
In the Church of England and some other Anglican Churches, it coincides with Mothering Sunday, a Sunday on which Christians have historically visited their mother church—the church in which they received the sacrament of baptism.
Regrettably I am unable to observe this custom as my mother church is St. Mary the Virgin in Therfield, in Hertfordshire, in the United Kingdom, a goodly distance from where I now live.
Among Mothering Sunday customs are the baking off Simnel Cakes and Mothering Buns, "plain yeast-leavened buns, iced, and sprinkled with hundreds and thousands,” for the occasion and children gathering and presenting their mothers with bouquets of violets.
The topic of this Sunday’s message is spiritual blindness.
Readings: 1 Samuel 16: 1-13, Ephesians 5: 8-14, and John 9: 1-41
Message: Born Blind
