May 25th Worship Audio Available

We have re-entered 'Ordinary' season in the church year. The term 'ordinary' refers back to its origins in 'ordinal' - showing the 'order' or 'rank' of something. So, in Ordinary time after Pentecost, we are counting the Sundays before the end of the liturgical church year in November. (Learn more here and here.)

We include a link to a reflection on Ordinary Time from the archives of Anglicans Online.

To learn how we know which Proper to use on which Sunday after Pentecost, you may read more from the Book of Common Prayer on page 158 or online here.

Some notes on today's audio: We are experimenting with a different recording method. We want to provide reliable posting of the worship audio, so we are exploring duplicate methods of recording and ways that avoid use of the sound system to forego the drops and other issues it quirkily decides to inject in the recordings.

Please let us know if this week's method is acceptable. We will, of course, continue to scout out the causes of problems and possible solutions for our main sound system.

For those of you who wish to worship with us, you will find the audio in the usual spot on our Worship page or by using this link.
