The Rector’s Letter
March 31, 2024
Dear Friends,
If it were up to me, we would have no such thing as an early Easter. Easter Day would fall predictably every year on the second Sunday of April. The weather would have more time to warm up. Flowers would have more time to bloom. Choirs would have more time to rehearse. If, indeed, it were up to me, I would make yet another change to the calendar that has nothing to do with church. In leap years, we would have a June 31st, not a February 29th. Everybody likes June. Nobody likes February. Why do we add an additional day to an unpopular month? Why do we allow Easter to hop around the calendar like a bunny rabbit? Alas, it is not up to me, so here comes Easter, ready or not.
