Preparing for the New Missal

On the first Sunday of Advent, November 27th, we will begin using the new translation of prayers and responses of the new Missal. We are ordering congregational aids with the express intention of having them obsolete and unneeded within a short period of time. We will soon begin practicing new 'service' music (Gloria, Holy, and Lamb of God). Our Fall renew sessions will center on the Eucharist. We will have bulletin handouts as well as sermons on the matter.

I think the most noticeable change is the uplifting of language to better fit the uplifting of our purpose of offering fitting worship to God through Jesus Christ in their Holy Spirit.

We hope to be much better prepared for the 2011 changes than we were for the 1970 changes. It
