Ordinary Time 1

The second half of the Christian calendar between Pentecost and Advent is known as "Ordinary Time", so named because of the ordinal numbers by which the weeks are counted. It is a time for ongoing growth and transformation as followers of Christ, seeking to walk with him more closely as he builds his kingdom and establishes his reign in our hearts and throughout the world. This period moves towards the Christ the King Sunday in the final week of Ordinary Time. Hymn: "Speak, Lord, in the Stillness" (Emily May Grimes, 1868-1927) Bible Passages: Psalm 84; John 6:56-69
