The Churching of Women will be immediately before any of the Services. LENT. The approach of Lent again calls all amongst us to serious thought and special prayer. In the course of it some of our number are about to ratify the solemn vows of their Baptism at Confirmation, and to profess themselves openly the servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. But we hope that many besides them will make this an opportunity of renewing their promises, and strengthening their efforts, to live a Christian life. All have surely need to consider their state before God, to seek the grace of repentance, and to endeavour, by an earnest use of the means and opportunities which God gives, to live more nearly to Him, in daily preparation for His summons to the Eternal world. |
