The Bishop is coming, the Bishop is coming

Next Sunday, 1 Advent, is our annual bishop's visitation.

As it turns out, some stars and planets must be aligned because on November 29, 1896, 1 Advent, Bishop Brewer came to our town and consecrated Christ Church. Now, 113 years later, it's again 1 Advent on November 29 and the bishop will be here. Not Bishop Brewer, of course, I think he retired some years ago; but our current bishop who is probably in much better physical condition at the moment.

Anyway, because of this rare confluence of secular calendar, church calendar and bishop's calendar, we are doing one service that day. People from VC are coming down for the event and we've invited a whole herd of people. We have a couple of confirmations that day, and it will all be followed up with a brunch.

It should be a fun time. And the best thing about this? I don't have to write a sermon over the shortened holiday week.

:-D Happy priesty boy
