One of the themes during the season of Lent is repentance. As we were reminded in the Ash Wednesday service of our own mortality, we were also reminded of our need of the Savior and His forgiveness. Repentance is central to reconciliation with God. In the service today, youll notice the Call to Prayer and the use of the Greek phrase Kyrie eleison, Lord, have mercy. That phrase is one of the oldest in Christian worship, appearing as early as the 4th century, though its biblical roots go back into Old Testament times (I Chron. 16:35). During Reformation times it was associated with the Ten Commandments. Youll note the two acts of worship are combined in todays service as they lead us into the Pastoral Prayer of the morning. The Lenten Devotional Booklet is also designed to guide us through these days as we reflect on Jesus journey to the cross. - Dr. Dan Sharp
