~ Worshiping God ~

When we are not in the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent or Easter,

we are in the growth period of Ordinary Time -

marked by the living and hopeful color of Green.

While the 'seasons' of the church year focus upon one aspect of the presence

of God in our lives, Ordinary Time celebrates all aspects and occurs twice

in the Liturgical / Christian calendar. First during the time between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday, and then again between Pentecost and Advent.

This is why this Sunday we pick up where we left off, at Ordinary Sunday Nine.

May your Ordinary Time be EXTRA-ordinary!
