Holy Week
The most important week in the life of the Church is Holy Week - the final week of Lent, which begins with Palm Sunday and culminates in the Holy Triduum - the three holy days of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter. During these days, the story of salvation is celebrated as we remember the Passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Week of 3/25-4/1
Fifth Sunday in Lent
This Sunday is March 25, upon which the church year celebrates the Annunciation. This is the day where we commemorate the announcement of the angel Gabriel to the blessed Virgin Mary that she would be the mother of God, bring about the conception of Jesus in her womb. This date was chosen because it is nine months before Christmas, the commemoration of the birth of Jesus. When this date falls on a Sunday, there are varying opinions on whether the Sunday's lectionary (in this case the Fifth Sunday of Lent) or the Annunciation should be observed. In any event, it's a fitting day to remember in Daily Prayer.

Psalms Bible Study
This Sunday, March 11, our Psalms Bible Study continues with "Psalms on the Messiah." If you'd like, you may read Psalms 22, 45, and 110 to prepare for this study. Come and bring a friend. (We won't meet on March 18 because of Spring Break at UWM.)
Union Table
We're hosting a Union Table on Tuesday, March 13. We need volunteers to help host it. If you can, please let Rachel or Vicar know. Also, stop by and see us on Tuesday if you have a chance.
Table Talk
This Wednesday, at 8:30 AM in Union Room 147, we will discuss Luke 15:11-32, "The Parable of the Prodigal Son" and how it relates to the Church's practice of Private Confession and Absolution.
Catechism and Hymn Study
On Wednesdays in Lent, you are invited to join us for Lenten dinner at 5:15 PM, followed by our Lenten Vespers at 6 PM.
Because Lent is a time of focus on catechesis, we will hold a CATECHISM AND HYMN STUDY after Vespers. We'll spend about 30 minutes on a Scripture passage and the catechism and about 30 minutes discussing some hymns. We'll include some musical recordings and some singing.
Catechism Discussion: 2 Samuel 11 and 12 "The Prophet Nathan Ministers to David;" We will examine this Scriptural account and the chief part on "Confession" from Luther's Small Catechism.
Hymnody Discussion: What is a Lutheran hymn? Where does the story of Lutheran hymns start? Why do Lutherans sing what they sing? This will be an introduction to our on-going study of the story of the hymns in our hymnal from different time periods of church history.
Each week, we will study a different section of the catechism and a corresponding Bible account, followed by a study of Lutheran hymns.
(We won't meet on March 21 because of Spring Break at UWM.)
Luther Appreciation Night

We'll continue with our discussion of the Large Catechism on Baptism. For our discussion this Thursday, read through # 16 on Baptism: http://www.bookofconcord.org/largecatechism/6_baptism.html

Vespers for Lent
One of the practices of the church during Lent includes increased prayer. We are invited and encouraged to increase our daily prayer at home through the reading of the Scriptures, the singing of Psalms and hymns, and offering up petitions. A possible resource for this would include the Lenten devotions from HIGHER THINGS.
We are also invited to join in increased corporate prayer. At Luther Memorial Chapel, we have Vespers on Wednesdays in Lent at 6 PM. Vespers is the historic evening prayer office of the church. Everyone is welcome to join us. Before Vespers, we have a light supper at 5:15 PM. In addition, we have our regularly scheduled Matins on Tuesday mornings at 9 AM. If you're free at these times, we invite you to join us to hear God's Word and respond in prayer and song.
