The Lutheran Order of Service for Okuli (3^rd Sunday in Lent) is available here in isiZulu and seTswana. Today it comes with a sermon by Pastor T. Ratshofola (Mafeking, NW) based on the reading from prophet Jeremiah in the 20^th chapter verses 7-11a (11b-13) in seTswana (wt1316130303 Okuli) and translated as usual by my father Rev. E.A.W.Weber DD (Welbedacht, KZN) into isiZulu (wz1316130303 Okuli).

We thank the Lutheran Heritage Foundation for supporting the distribution of hard-copies of these orders of worship and sermons throughout Southern Africa. If you also want a copy please do not hesitate to subscribe by writing to EAWWeber@bundunet.co.za.

I pray you have a very blessed Sunday and have time to meditate on the watchword by our Lord Jesus Christ recorded in the gospel of St. Luke in the 9^th chapter: “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” (Luk 9:62 NIV). The liturgical colour is purple and the Gloria in exelsis remains unspoken and unsung until Easter.
