All sorts of audio…

I have for you an update of all sorts of audio. First, the sermons & readings, and then on to the recordings of the Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, who was in Buffalo this past weekend.

Ash Wednesday Readings & Sermon

First Sunday of Lent Readings & Sermon

The Presiding Bishop’s Address to and Q&A with the Clergy of WNY. This audio file is just over an hour – 77:59. The quality is pretty good, and begins with Bishop Franklin introducing Bishop Michael Curry. This is a very large file, and so I’m only offering a direct download option from it’s home on my Google drive. If you click on the link and seem to get an error message, that is because it is too big a file to play in your browser.

Ash Wednesday

Lent is almost upon us, friends, and that means that it is time to clean out the closets of our hearts and minds. It is time to take out and examine each item we find in there; each assumption, each habit, each regret – or perhaps to just take out one and focus on it (examining it, judging its usefulness, perhaps engaging in some forgiving, or asking forgiveness of others) so that by the end of Lent we are ready to let it go. 

The best way to kick off Lent is to attend a service on Ash Wednesday which is March 1st this year. Trinity has two options for the people of Warsaw and Wyoming County:

Ashes to Go, 5-6pm
Imposition of Ashes (traditional indoor service), 6pm

Our Sunday services continue as usual during Lent. We meet to worship at 10:30 AM, and there is a Sunday School for children during the service.

Mark your calendars for Holy Week:

Maundy Thursday, April 13 
Soup & Sandwich Potluck Supper – 6pm
Stripping of the Altar service – 7pm

Good Friday, April 14

Beginning at Trinity – Noon
