ORDER OF SERVICE Red p. 404; Blue p. 521; Yellow p. 420 8.00am OPENING HYMN 174 Crown him with many crowns WELCOME GATHERING p. 404 (Red Marker) (We omit the Gloria in Lent) 10 COMMANDMENTS p. 521 (Blue Marker) SENTENCE Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow. Lamentations 1: 12 COLLECT Jesus, at Bethany you shared both the pain and
fellowship of your friends, and accepted the outpouring of another’s love. Help us to realise that if we also do not care for others and share their pain and joys, our lives grow barren and harsh. Free us, like Mary, for s spontaneous affection for each other and for you.

How are we to share in Jesus’ sufferings? Perhaps during Lent we have practiced some kind of fasting in the kinds or quantities of food we eat, or in our enjoyment of some other pleasures. Or perhaps we have chosen instead to take on some spir-itual discipline for this holy season. This is a very small way to share in Christ’s suffering, to become like him in his death. Perhaps we need simply to die a little to ourselves, to focus on others and not just on our own concerns and the con-cerns of those near and dear to us. Jesus said that whatever we do to the least of his brothers and sisters we do to, or for, him. How might we enter into the suffer-ing of those brothers and sisters, the sick, the poor, the homeless or hungry, those who are alone? It’s not too late to make that a part of our Lenten practice. In fact, we can and should do it anytime, no matter what the season.
