LENT COURSE On Thursday (2nd), our Lent course, “A Journey through Lent with Handel’s ‘Messiah’”, led by our Vicar Jason, will begin at 12.45pm. During the course, some of the ideas behind the words and music will be explored , as we prepare for Holy Week and Easter.

BERWYN PRISON The first service takes place on Sunday 5th March at 10am. If you would like to attend, please let Ann in the Office know by tomorrow (Monday), as the Chaplain needs to have advance notice of names. He will very much appreciate congregational support.

Almighty Father, whose Son was revealed in majesty before he suffered death upon the Cross: give us grace to perceive his glory, that we may be strengthened to suffer with him and be changed into his likeness, from glory to glory; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
OLD TESTAMENT Exodus 24: 12-18
PSALM 2
1 Why do the nations so furiously / rage to‑/gether: and why do the peoples de‑/ vise a / vain / thing? 2 The kings of the earth stand up, * and the rulers take / counsel · to‑/gether: against the Lord and a‑/gainst · his an‑/ointed / king; 3 ‘Let us break their / bonds a‑/sunder: and cast a‑/way their / cords / from us.’ 4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall / laugh · them to / scorn: the Lord shall / have them / in de‑/rision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them / in his / wrath: and dismay them / in his / sore dis‑/pleasure; 6 ‘I, even I, have / set my king: upon my / holy / hill of Zion.’ 7 I will tell of the de‑/cree · of the / Lord: he said unto me * ‘Thou art my son, this / day have / I be‑/ gotten thee. 10 Be wise now therefore / O ye / kings: be prudent, ye that are / judges / of the / earth. 11 Serve the / Lord in / fear: and with / trembling / bow be‑ /fore him, 12 Lest he be angry and ye perish in your course; * for his wrath is / quickly / kindled: blessèd are all they that / put their / trust in / him.
