Time of the Church

The Time of the Church or as it is sometimes called the Season of Pentecost begins the day after Pentecost.  This year that was Monday, May 28.

The Sundays of "The Time of the Church" year are known as the Sundays after Pentecost.  Picking up on Pentecost as the season of growth, the Sundays after Pentecost are often refered to as the "Green Sundays."  It is during this season that the reading focus on the teaching of the Lord for the Church.  We hear Jesus teaching His disciples and healing the faithful.

During this season it is the custom of Grace Lutheran Church to use the processional cross, setting aside the processional crucifix used during the time of our Lord, which reminds us that during that time we are focused upon His life.
