Office Schedule For Holy Week

For those who often wonder, the date of Easter Sunday is determined, like the tides that so guide our surfing life [oops, almost got lost in a reverie], by the phases of the moon. Thus, Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox.

This is explained on page 880 of the Book of Common Prayer. Future dates for Easter, until the year 2089, begin on page 882.

From the eve of Palm Sunday to the conclusion of Easter Sunday, the office will only be handling liturgical and pastoral responsibilities. There will be no other meetings, administrative activities, or appointments made during those days.

Postings on the weblog will cease for the week and the Holy Week schedule will remain at the top of the page during that time.

[P.S. E-mail will be checked in the early mornings once a day. If you wish to contact me more quickly than that, please use the telephone.]
