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.

"Why Genuine Lutheran Theology is Inherently Vigorously Evangelistic!"
It's a long title, but a great topic.

It's at 7 PM. We'll leave from Luther Memorial around 6:20 PM. Please let us know if you're coming!

We'll examine Matthew 9:1-8, 35-38 Jesus heals a paralytic and Matthew 16:13-19, Jesus institutes the Office of the Ministry and see how these relate to the fifth chief part of the Catechism.
