Farewell to Alleluia

At the conclusion of the service for the last Sunday after Epiphany, the Transfiguration of Our Lord, we said farewell to the alleluia. This word of joy is put aside during the penitential season of Lent and will not be sung again until Easter.

The hymn Alleluia, Song of Gladness, a Latin hymn written in the 11th century, translated by John Mason Neale, 1818-1866, is a tribute to this acclamation in the church’s worship life. The text and music can be found in Evangelical Lutheran Worship 318.

Midweek Lenten Worship 2021

Lent began on Ash Wednesday, February 17. Join us for worship each Wednesday throughout Lent.

Lent has been observed by Christians since the fourth century. It is a 40-day period (excluding Sundays) of reflection, penitence, and spiritual renewal before the Resurrection of Our Lord, Easter Day, the greatest day on the Christian Calendar. Lent ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter.

During Lent many, if not most churches, have additional services. We will too! You are invited to attend a series of services called PLACES OF THE PASSION, in which we follow in the footsteps of Jesus, contemplating what happened at each spot Jesus stopped along the path of his Passion for the sake of the world, and for each one of us.
