We love our little parish, our Rector and people at St. Peter's-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church. Yet, most oddly, last week...the Sabbath service...17 Nov 2013...the Collect for the Day, the lections and the hymns were for the Second Sunday in Advent. I suspect it happened with a Secretary and was caught too late to be reversed by the Rector. We proceeded without missing a beat; this is comforting since I sing Easter hymns in Advent, Lent hymns during Trinity Sundays, and Advent hymns during Lent and more; seasonal confusions are common; ergo, it was good to see it happen once in an institutional setting. We never missed the beat but methinks no one else noticed except the Rector. The sermon was fairly good: Second Coming, Resurrection and Final Judgment. Not profoundly so, in the sense of the old systemeticians, but surely in the orthodox direction.

And we sang this good Advent hymn too.
