God has provided a rhythm of seasons which orders life and influences the church’s worship. God’s work of redemption in Jesus Christ offers the Church a central pattern for ordering worship in relationship to significant occasions in the life of Jesus and of the people of God. The Church thus has come to observe the following days and seasons:

• Advent, a season to recollect the hope of the coming of Christ, and to look forward to the Lord’s coming again; During the season of Advent, we celebrate Christ's coming into the world and watch with expectant hope for his coming again.

•  Christmas, a celebration of the birth of Christ;

•  Epiphany, a day for commemorating God’s appearance to all people;

•  Lent, a season of spiritual discipline and preparation, beginning with Ash Wednesday, anticipating the celebration of the death and resurrection of Christ;

•  Holy Week, a time of remembrance and proclamation of the atoning suffering and death of Jesus Christ;  Holy Week is the week from Palm Sunday to Easter – a week that begins and ends in triumph and rejoicing.  Holy Week is the heart of the Christian message.
