February 22nd – The First Sunday In Lent

You can join the service on YouTube!

The stream will begin shortly before 9:30am, and you’re able to watch or re-watch the live-stream at this YouTube link at any time.

The order of service is available here.

Having it handy will make it easier to join in more fully–includes the readings and all of the responses. It also has prayers that you may wish to use as those physically present receive the eucharist.

Sundays and Seasons offers this reflection on the readings we’ll hear today:
Today’s gospel tells of Jesus’ temptation in the desert. His forty-day fast becomes the basis of our Lenten pilgrimage. In the early church Lent was a time of intense preparation for those to be baptized at the Easter Vigil. This catechetical focus on the meaning of faith is at the heart of our Lenten journey to the baptismal waters of Easter. Hungry for God’s mercy, we receive the bread of life to nourish us for the days ahead.
