March 8th, 2026
Third Sunday in Lent
NOTRE APPORCHE VERS DIEU / OUR APPROACH TO GOD
BIENVENUE, PRIÈRE ET APPEL À LA CÉLÉBRATION / GREETING, PRAYER AND CALL TO WORSHIP
(Se lever / Congregation rises as the Minister enters)
As I live every day, I want to be a channel for peace. May I bring love where there is hatred and healing where there is hurt; joy where there is sadness, and hope where there is fear. I pray that I may always try to understand and comfort other people, as well as seeking comfort and understanding from them. May I choose always to be a light in the darkness, a help in times of need, and a caring honest friend. And may justice, kindness, and peace flow from my heart forever. Amen.
God’s Truth opens our eyes on the world.
God’s Spirit shatters our prejudice.
God’s Truth nourishes our hearts.
God’s Spirit encourages us in the face of fear.
God’s Truth frees us from past mistakes and misunderstanding.
God’s Spirit moves us to find new purpose in life.
So let us worship God in Spirit and in Truth
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
And also with you.
Holy God, Holy and mighty
Holy, immortal one
Have mercy upon us (3 times)
LENT CANDLE LITURGY
In Lent, we hear Jesus’ call to mend our ways.
Repentance is necessary, no matter who we are.
So we come to listen and respond to Jesus’ word of life, for the Holy One will abundantly pardon.
In returning to the Lord, we trust that mercy will be ours and our lips will praise the God of life.
PRIÈRE D’INVOCATION / PRAYER OF INVOCATION
CANTIQUE / HYMN: 208 IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST I GLORY
PRIÈRE DE CONFESSION / PRAYER OF CONFESSION
God, our Redeemer, we are not proud of all you hear in our thoughts and prayers. We complain when we want things to change but don’t know what to do. We justify ourselves when you call us to change but we don’t want to. We blame others when things change and upset our expectations. Forgive us, God, when we are not listening for you.
LE NOTRE PÈRE / THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Forever and ever, Amen.

PSAUME / RESPONSIVE READING: Psalm 95
O come, let us sing to the Lord.
Let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation!
Let us come into God’s presence with thanksgiving.
Let us make a joyful noise to the Lord with sings of praise.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great sovereign above all gods; in whose hands are the depths of the earth, and also the heights of the mountains.
The sea belongs to God, who made it, and the dry land, which God’s hands have formed.
O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before God, our Maker!
For the Lord is our God, and we are the people of God’s pasture, and the sheep of God’s hand.
O that you would listen to the voice of the Lord today! Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, when your ancestors tested me, and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work
For forty years I loathed that generation and said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they do not regard my ways.” Therefore, in my anger, I swore, “They shall not enter my rest.”
GLORIA PATRI (594) (Gloire au Père)
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

Le stationnement le plus proche est à l'hôtel de ville (15$ par jour), ou les parcomètres (6$ pour 2 heures) sur la rue.

For those who have expressed interest in singing as a choir, we are including a list of upcoming hymns to give people the opportunity to learn their parts on their own ahead of time. Please see France at the beginning of the service for sitting assignment. It is important to note that people should not wear perfume while singing close to others.
How to proceed to study the music on your own:
For regular attendees who read music, you may take pictures of the hymns in the hymn book for you to practice at home for the next service. For those learning by ear, many common hymns are available on you tube where you can listen to them ahead of time. During services, the organist always plays the entire hymn once as an introduction, giving you a head start on how it goes.
