November brings the Season of Pentecost, the longest of the Church Year, to an end. After the festival All Saints Sunday, we continue through the final three Sundays after Pentecost, the last being Christ the King Sunday. Then, after a pause for Thanksgiving, which Advent will be celebrating with our brothers and sisters from Salford Mennonite Church, the Season of Advent, preparing for the birth of the Christ Child, begins the following Sunday. Advent (the season) runs for four Sundays, leading into Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The Season of Christmas lasts twelve days (but you already knew that), through January 5.
