would you know that you may ask? One thing to look out for is the colours used DATES FOR
for different seasons in church, mainly on the altar and at communion. During
Ordinary Time they are Green and at this time of year it’s between Trinity Sunday,
this year 12 June, and always finishes by All Saints Day, 1 November. There may YOUR DIARY
st
th
also be a few weeks of Ordinary Time after Candlemas – when Jesus, at 40 days
old, was presented in the Temple, on 2 February and the beginning of Lent, 2022
nd
when everything goes Purple. Those great markers in the year, of Easter (White)
and Christmas (also White), seem a long way away, but it won’t be long before
we see the night’s drawing in again and children start excitedly drawing up their Floral Group Autumn Leaves Communibus Women’s Institute
Christmas lists! This season may be called Ordinary Time, but it’s anything but
ordinary for those who lives are changing at this time. Salt and Pepper Club Pop in Place Twinning Gardening Club
As I write this, we will be saying goodbye in school to the Year 6’s as they leave
their Primary years behind and go on to their respective Secondary Schools. What SP 18th Salt and Pepper Club
will the future hold for them I wonder? Then there will be those younger children
looking forward to starting ‘big’ school in September, and those finishing school
and finding their way in the workplace. We look back and think where did those 24th Seaton
years go? The changes our children make from baby to toddler to school
uniforms to adults happen in a flash. September
Sometimes we would just like time to stand still, especially when we are
comfortable with life. But, as the Preacher in the Old Testament Book Ecclesiastes 1st Talk and photographs on Dorset Village with Mary
says, there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. Graham
People and circumstances change, and we must accept that, it is from these
things that we learn and grow. It’s good to know though, that through all the 7th West Bay
changes, be they good or bad, happy or sad, God is with us accompanying us on
our journey. God has all the time in this world and beyond to spend with us and
it’s just because he loves us. 13th Marion Catt talk 2.00pm
We are reminded of this every year when we think about the last week of Jesus’
life that led to the pain and suffering of crucifixion before he was raised to new life SP 15th Salt and Pepper Club
on Easter morning. Easter, of course, has come and gone, but we can use this
Ordinary Time to carry on remembering that sacrifice. Time spent with God,
thanking him for his love, seems such a small price to pay in comparison. 21st Wilton House Garden Centre
