Third Sunday before Lent, Holy Eucharist, Sunday 16th February 11.30am

for 1 hour
St George's Church, Málaga
Avenida de Pries 1 Málaga, 29016, Spain

We have four Sundays this year between the end of Epiphany and the start of Lent, and these help us to set the scene for Lent.

Today, 16th February, 3rd Sunday before Lent, we hear the Sermon on the Mount, as reported in Luke's gospel, with both its 'blesseds' and its 'woes'.

As we approach Lent, it is a good time to reflect on the ways in which we live out our faith, both through our deliberate actions but also through the sort of people that we are. “To be a Christian,” wrote Dietrich Bonhoeffer, “does not mean to be religious in a particular way ...but to be a real human being. It is not the religious act that makes the Christian, but participation in the sufferings of God in the secular life.”

We often give things up for Lent. But let’s try giving up something that cocoons us from the pain that others are feeling, which God suffers alongside them. Let’s reach through and be there for someone. And at least stand alongside them in the things that are hurting them.

WELCOME TO ST GEORGE'S CHURCH IN THIS HOLY WEEK ✝️

St George's is an Anglican (Episcopalian) Church and we serve the city of Málaga and surrounding areas. If you are living in Málaga, visiting on holiday or a part-time resident, you will find a warm welcome here.

At our services in Holy Week we are no longer simply spectators but participants in the events around us. We are the people of Israel, waving our branches of palm and shouting Hosanna to the Son of David. We are with the disciples, eating and drinking at that solemn and mysterious last supper in the Upper Room. And with St Mary and St John, we watch in shock and despair at the death of Jesus on the Cross.

Do join us as we join our Lord Jesus Christ in his passion and walk with him on the Via Dolorosa to his death on a cross.

Listen to Sylvia Burnside sing the Holy Week hymn, ‘My Song is Love Unknown’, here.
