In this third Sunday of Lent, you will notice that we have added a crown of

thorns to the large cross in the front. Sin is an awful thing. If you and I are evertempted to minimize sin and its effect on life, we have only to remember the pain,

cruelty, and horror of the cross. Scripture records that after the crown of thorns

was put on Jesus, He was beaten on the head by the soldiers. The ugliness of the

cross helps us to better understand the holiness of God. The holiness of God can

tolerate no taint of sin, then or now. This fact is one of the reasons why confession

of sin, our own personal sin, is so significant when we come to worship our holy

God. The Ten Commandments Confession and choir anthem guide us in this time

of confession this morning. - Dr. Dan Sharp

St. Paul always greeted with the words, The peace of God be with you. Thisis an appropriate way to greet fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and so wesay, The peace of the Lord be with you and respond, And also with you. Wethen pass this greeting of peace to one another. At the passing of the peace weshould earnestly desire Gods peace upon each person we greet.
