Little Easters

From the St. Mark Presbyterian Church Lenten Devotional Book:  The Lord is Risen Indeed!

"Technically Sundays are not days of Lent.  They are little Easters to anticipate the coming celebration of Christ's victory of death at Easter.

Lent begins forty days prior to Easter, not counting Sundays.  During Lent 2002 [2013], you are encouraged to take Sundays as a day of worship and reflection.  Attend either the 8:30 or 10:30 Service every Sunday (or the 5:00 pm Saturday).

This booklet gives the ecumenical lectionary readings for each Sunday.  Not all are used in every service.  Take a few moments to look them up, read and think about them.  Ask yourself, "What changes in my life might I be called upon to make because of what I have read?"

Lectionary Readings for 2013:
Deuteronomy 26:1-11
Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16
Romans 10:8b-13
Luke 4:1-13
