Parish Mass for the Sunday before Lent

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Michael & All Angels
Northcote Road/Palmerston Road WALTHAMSTOW, LONDON., E17 6PQ, United Kingdom

Come and join us tomorrow 11 February for our Parish Mass for the Sunday before Lent (Quinquagesima in old money). Our readings focus on the remarkable taking up of Elijah into heaven on a fiery chariot, and the Transfiguration of Our Lord before he turns his face to Jerusalem where, as he has already told his disciples, he will be tried and crucified. As he says many times during his ministry, he comes to fulfil the Law, not to abolish it, and this is made very plain by the fact that he is seen talking with Elijah and Moses, those great prophets. The New Testament reading from Paul's letter to the Corinthians emphasises the glory of God in the face of Christ.

If you are coming in person, don't forget to bring your palm crosses, so that they may be burnt for the ash which will be used on Ash Wednesday to mark the fact that we are dust, and will return to dust. It is also the last chance to sing Alleluia until Easter, so make the most of it!

St Michael's Voyagers will be meeting at 10.30 a.m. in the parish centre for activities, prayers, readings and singing, so do bring your children along to that if you can.

St Michael & All Angels

St Michael and all Angels' is a friendly multicultural church located in the heart of Walthamstow, very close to the vibrant high street.

We are no longer in interregnum at St Michael's and warmly welcome Canon Fred Ashford-Okai, our new priest in charge.  

We would like to thank all of those who have supported St Michaels during our interregnum helping us reach and grow our church community, and look forward to growing even more.

Please pop in and join us at one of our services. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram @stmichaelstow.

God Bless
