Weekly Update for Grace & Trinity

26 March 2021
*Friday of Judica,*

Dear Saints and Friends of Grace & Trinity,

This Sunday is
T* Palm Sunday / Passion Sunday *T
John 12:12–19; Zechariah 9:9-12; Philippians 2:5-11; Matthew 26:1-27:66 <ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=11961360&l=cba99876-acaf-459c-941c-6dfb46ec366e&r=5ee81e98-c643-4183-835a-8a21916fb43c>

Sunday begins Holy Week, a time of somber meditation and joyful worship of our Lord who humbly rode into Jerusalem to die for us and our salvation. We’ll begin in the parking Lot (Trinity) and in the Narthex (Grace) with palm branches in hand, just as the first crowd that greeted Him with loud shouts of “Hosanna!” Then, laying our palms at the foot of the chancel, we’ll pause to silently reflect on what these last days towards the cross mean. We’ll hear the passion read from the Gospel and carry that reflection forward during all of Holy Week. If you’ve never had the chance, please join us each day for prayer, meditation, and worship of the King who reigns from the cross.

*Join us Sunday at 8am at Grace and 11am at Trinity*, as well as *Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday at 7pm *for Compline, *Thursday at 7pm *for the Divine Service of Maundy Thursday, *Friday at noon *for the Chief Service and *Friday at 7pm *for our Tenebrae Vespers, and finally on *Saturday at 8pm *for the Easter Vigil.

*Bible Study this week is at 9:30am at Trinity. *We’re continuing with Revelation 17. Join us!

· *RETURNING TO THE COMMUNION RAIL**: *With significantly lower infections in our area and the number of members already vaccinated, the Pastors and Elders at both Grace and Trinity have decided to return to our communion practice of receiving the Sacrament at the communion rail beginning Easter Sunday. The ushers will provide ample spacing between individuals or families to kneel and receive the Sacrament. If you’re uncomfortable kneeling at the rail, please feel free to stand. Because the offering is passed from hand to hand, permitting a greater spread of germ and disease, we’ve decided to keep the baskets in the Narthex for the time being.

*Prayer Requests…*
· For the family of Terry Berry (Cheryl Berry’s sister-in-law), who mourn for Terry as she fell asleep in Christ yesterday.

Many blessings and much joy to you all in Christ our life.

Weekly Update for Grace & Trinity

19 March 2021
*Festival of St. Joseph, Guardian of our Lord,*

Dear Saints and Friends of Grace & Trinity,

This Sunday is the Fifth Sunday in Lent
T* Judica *T
Genesis 22:1–14; Hebrews 9:11–15; John 8:42-59 <ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=11836289&l=43697980-7342-43ac-89ac-fcac5f8152a1&r=25d3e1d2-2410-45f8-841b-ffac1835a1e4>

This Sunday we enter the final stages of our Lenten journey. We now begin *Passiontide*, the last two weeks of Lent. The crosses are now veiled as the Gospel reading ends, “but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple” (Jn 8:59). We also drop the *Gloria Patri (“glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit*”), which will be most noticeable during the Introit and the *Nunc Dimittis*. Judica comes from the Introit, “*Vindicate/Judge me, O God*” (Ps 43:1). It’s a cry for the Lord’s justice to shine forth from the cross and deliver us from the snares of the devil. *Join us at 8am at Grace and 11am at Trinity*, as we seek our Lord’s justice in the gifts from the cross.

*Bible Study this week is at 9:30am at Trinity. *This week we’re continuing with Revelation 16. Join us!

*Other things…*
· The Rev. President Matthew Harrison has released a statement regarding the Equality Act. The Church is not a partisan entity, yet it is deeply political—that is, of the people and for the people. Our involvement in politics is simply our involvement with one another. If the Church is silent in our treatment and conversation with one another, then we should not be surprised by other voices that lead our culture away from a life shaped by the Word of God. Please read this article and consider how it might inform your conversation with others. blogs.lcms.org/2021/lcms-presidents-statement-on-the-equality-act
· Here’s this week’s lecture on Isaiah 1-39 <ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=11705631&l=f7621522-3229-47b6-9e0c-a844d8fe4c56&r=6dbeaba4-ca91-4f56-b243-d0fd8b3f6ceb>. Enjoy!

*Prayer Requests…*
· Pr. Cliff Winter underwent hip surgery this week. Please keep him in your prayers for comfort and recovery.
· Amy Fox is suffering from various health concerns and multiple trips to the hospital.
· This past Monday, Hazadi, the 4-year-old son of Samson and Suzana, our neighbors at the NE corner of Erie and Gilbert, was killed in a hit-and-run accident. You can read more details about this tragedy here <ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=11705631&l=dca24d00-a66c-4a40-92f7-149b9929a9c1&r=6dbeaba4-ca91-4f56-b243-d0fd8b3f6ceb>. We’ll be taking a special offering at Trinity (another basket on the table) to help provide for this family in their sorrow. They’ve had lots of support the last few days. Please keep them in your prayers.

Many blessings and much joy to you all in Christ our life.
