SEASONS OF THE CHURCH YEAR
Join us as we celebrate each season together
Did you know about ... Pentecost and Ordinary Time
Pentecost Sunday comes fifty days after Easter Sunday. It is the celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit and the beginning of the Christian church. The season after pentecost stretches through the rest of the year until Advent comes around again. Throughout this time, Christians follow the gospel stories of the life and ministry of Jesus and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Read about the events that took place on Pentecost: Acts 2
The Sundays following Pentecost until the first Sunday in Advent are often called ordinary time. This season might be thought of as time walking with Christ. Bible readings during these Sundays focus on events in Christ's life. There is time to focus on the lessons Jesus taught and how they apply to our lives. The altar color for this time period is green for hope. As nature turns green and grows we also try to grow in faith.
Bible readings for this time: Read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (the four gospels that tell the good news of Jesus' life)
Prayer Practice:
Lord God,
You have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown.
Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
