Septuagesimae (3.Sunday before Lent)

Why do you object that I am so merciful?

Between the time of Christmas/Epiphany and Lent the Church has 3 Sundays, which are like a break between the joyful celebrations of Christ’s incarnation and appearance on the one hand and his going up to Jerusalem to suffer, be crucified and die under Pontius Pilate.

Here is the Lutheran order of service for today with sermons in both Zulu and Tswana. We are grateful for the support by faithful pastors, who continuously share the sermons so that those members, who are in vacant congregations or without the chance to go to Church that Sunday can share in God’s good gift – his holy Word – and partake in the prayers of the Church. Today the sermon is by Rev. Kurt-Guenter Tiedemann and is on Jeremiah 9,23-24.

The Gospel is Mt.20,1-16a; Epistle 1.Kor.9,24-27 and the OT Jer.9,23-24 (which is also the basis for the sermon)

Here are the orders for the day in Zulu: IziNtshumayelo zokuSebenzelana ekuZwaneni and also in Tswana: Dithero tsa Tirelano mo Kutlwanong.
