Pentecost is coming to a close. The first Sunday of Advent is December 3rd this year.
Advent is the beginning of the new church year, with a change in the cycle of lessons that are read each Sunday. This Advent begins Year C, which is the year that the Gospel lessons will focus on Luke. The BMRC has several resources for clergy and lay leaders to use for sermon preparation or Bible study classes.

Jesus said to "Go and teach," and one of our diocese's goals is to speak the faith and increase understanding through teaching and education.
