Words, Sources of Words, Copic Colors, and Other Materials Used
Sunday, November 29:Words: We are leaving ordinary time.
Source: Each year, my calendar has begun with the words "We are leaving ordinary time..." These words remind me that Advent is a special time of year, looking forward to Christmas and the birth of Jesus. And it's a fact that "ordinary time"- the long summer and fall church season after Pentecost - has now ended.
