What Did You Get Last Sunday?

[Shane R]

Depending on the church, the options were: Sunday Next Before Advent, Last Sunday of the Year, 24th Sunday after Pentecost, or Feast of Christ the King. I was serving a PCUSA where the calendar prescribed 24th Sunday after Pentecost but the organist and I both went with Christ the King (she's Lutheran). The congregation made the decision at the last minute to have communion, which I cannot celebrate for them. I had to consult with the lay worship leader and the person who was going to preside at communion to hand write a couple of adjustments to the bulletin they give me so we were all on the same page.

The uber Anglo-Catholic types who use the Missal would have celebrated Christ the King on the Last Sunday of October. I celebrated Reformation Sunday for a Lutheran congregation that day.

I was not there on account of having a cold and not wanting to "share" it with anyone else, but they did Christ the King and then The Big Church Clean, because it was Sunday Next Before Advent.

I also got some vestments to mend, which Husband brought back with him. Someone said "Did you knit that?" about my jacket one day, so I said "Yes", and a retired Priest who happened to be nearby, said "Can you sew?", so I said "Yes", and promptly ended up with damaged bits of church wardrobe being handed to me.

Ours was the Feast of Christ the King. The readings were Jeremiah 23:1-6, Colossians 1:11-20, and Luke 23:33-43.
