Here is a bit more about the liturgical year:
From earliest times the Church has gathered on Sundays to celebrate the good news of Jesus Christ. Over time an annual cycle of Christian memory-making has also developed, which allows us to remember his life, death, and resurrection; to celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit; and to recall the ministry of the holy people who have spread the Christian faith over the centuries.
Through the structuring of our Christian memory, the past is able to come into our present.
The liturgical or Church year is divided into several seasons. It begins with Advent, which looks forward to Christmas. The visit of the wise men to Jesus is remembered at Epiphany, after which there is a period of ‘ordinary time’. The six weeks of Lent prepare us for Easter, which celebrates Jesus’s resurrection, leading forward to his Ascension and the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church at Pentecost. ‘Ordinary time’ then resumes until the end of the year.
ADULT JOURNAL
CHILDREN JOURNAL
Church on Sunday is a "tradition" for many families. Although, many do not fully understand the Church Year. The Encouraging Grace Journals are a GREAT Resource that goes through the Church Year and wonderful way to expand on the Sunday Church Service learning. I really LOVE the Look and Layout of the Journals, VERY colorful and Beautiful layout. Each week has Scripture, Hymns, a place for Reflection and Prayers and more. I REALLY LOVE the Church Year Calendar information included in the books. Another GREAT feature is that the Women's Journal and Child's Journal are similar and are inline with one another, so studying as a family or having your child sit next to you is easy to do with the books.
I was very excited to receive a copy of both the Women's Journal and the Children's Journal. I am in absolute AWE at how wonderful both Journals are. I HIGHLY recommend both of them! They would make GREAT Christmas Gifts!
