We are now in the season after Pentecost, also called Ordinary Time, which begins the day after Pentecost and ends the day before the First Sunday of Advent (28 Sundays). This season of the Christian year is also referred to as “Kingdomtide” (in some Protestant churches), when we live out and explore our call to discipleship and what it means to live in the Kingdom of God. The color associated with this season (and usually the color of the altar/pulpit cloths) is green, signifying growth, new life and hope.
The Tree of Life is sometimes used as a symbol for this time of year. Christ is the tree; the branches are the church; the leaves represent the people; and the berries signify the fruit of life.
May this season be a time of reflection; a time for charity, and a time for bringing the Good News to a world in need.
