Hello Families:
The Season After Pentecost is the longest season of the church year, spanning almost half the calendar year. The weeks after Pentecost are called Ordinary Time coming from the word “ordinal” which means counted time. This time is not ordinary as in common or regular, but it is the time of counted weeks between Pentecost and Advent. The liturgical color of the season is green. It is often thought of as a season of growth both in our personal faith and in the life of the church.
Common themes to focus on throughout the season are:
• Our relationship with God.
• Our relationship with Jesus Christ and with one another through our prayers, the sacraments
and life in the body of Christ.
• The presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
• The Church and its work for God’s mission.
Attached is a Sunday School lesson plan and line drawings that you may use with your kids at home. Do you need any supplies to do your coloring and cuttings? Let me know and we can give you some supplies and materials that we have here.
Aloha. I miss you all,
Mr. Lindy Marzo
Family Ministry Director

Centering Prayer
A method of quiet meditation in which a single symbolic word is used as a sign of one's willingness to wait on God and be available to God's presence. This word is used as a point of focus. The discipline involves setting aside twenty minutes or so for quiet prayer. This apophatic method has been widely taught and practiced in the Episcopal Church since the early 1980s. Thomas Keating's Finding Grace at the Center (1978) encouraged the practice of centering prayer.
