Sunday Worship Notes for Lent I
With Ash Wednesday on February 6, we entered the season of Lent - the forty days of fasting and reflection before Holy Week and Easter. Today's service for the First Sunday of Lent is now available for listening on our Worship page.
At St. Barnabas, we chant the Great Litany at the beginning of the service on the First Sunday of Lent. Our worship is more contemplative with more silences. There are no preludes and postludes. Throughout the season, our 11:00 o'clock service uses Rite I (although you will hear us mixing up our responses with those from Rite II out of habit!).
As we have commented upon in the past, our sound system is still intermittently troublesome. This week's trouble spot turned out to be a loss of all but the beginning of the anthem (Allegri's Miserere) and the start of the offertory hymn. We are very sorry about this. After heavily increasing the volume levels for the dropped section, the quality was unacceptable. We ended up cutting this 'silent' part out so that you don't turn up your speakers all the way to hear the very faint to non-existent sounds of the anthem and then get blasted by the offertory hymn coming back loud and clear in the middle of verse one!
This week's sermon included the information that we will have a preaching series on Lent. Each week, Rev. Pat or Rev. Kate will examine an aspect of Lent. The topics to be covered are: Exhortation (Lent II), Confession (Lent III), Humble Access (Lent IV), and then a gathering together of the threads on Lent V.
