After the Easter period which ended with Pentecost to remind us that the Holy Spirit is ever present, the church year enters one of its less exalted periods of so-called "ordinary time". The first Sunday is Trinity Sunday May 18th, and the Sunday following is Corpus Christi marking the introduction of Communion at the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday (Maundy Thursday itself being thought too filled with Easter activity to give Communion sufficient attention).
The Sundays in this period are numbered as Sundays after Trinity, and this is the origin of ordinary time because ordinal means numbered.
Events in this period are the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven, celebrated on August 15th, particularly in the eastern churches (so watch for it if holidaying in Greece or Ukraine), and All Saints Day on November 1st.

Vicar Sandy Christie

At St Michael’s we’ve committed ourselves to working through some of the challenges presented by the pressures on our time, as we try to understand what it means to Make Time for the Things that Matter. If we don’t face those questions now, the chances are we never quite will. The time we are given is a bit like the sand running through an hour glass. At first the drop is so slow that it’s almost imperceptible, but after a while the sand starts falling faster and faster.
