Overview

Also commonly referred to as "Ordinary Time", The Time After Pentecost is a season of growth, discipleship, and faithful living in the life of the Church!

​

Extending from the Day of Pentecost (May 24th) until the beginning of Advent (November 29th), this longest season of the Church Year focuses upon the work of the Holy Spirit through the Word and Sacraments as He nurtures Christ's people in faith and equips them for lives of faithful service.

 

Our SOLA lectionary readings throughout the Time After Pentecost trace the teachings and ministry of Jesus, inviting the Church into a thematic focus of discipleship, sanctification, and life in the Kingdom of God. We are reminded of our Lord's call to daily follow Him, taking up our cross in confidence that His grace is sufficient and His promises are sure.

​

The Church reflects deeply upon what it means to live as the baptized people of God in a fallen world, growing in holiness as the Spirit conforms us to the image of Christ. The Time After Pentecost is therefore a season of faithful endurance and spiritual maturity, as believers are continually formed by God's Word and strengthened through His Sacraments. Rooted in the Gospel, the Church bears witness to Christ through lives of love, mercy, and service, awaiting with joyful expectation the day when our risen and ascended Lord will come again in glory to make all things new.
