As we all know, this is a busy season for parishes. However, by planning today, life will be easier a few weeks down the road. Start drafts of your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day service materials this week. You probably won't be able to finalise them, but having a draft version ready to go now, will make you much happier on December 23.
You can download, in Word or PDF format (printed on a single page, double-sided), a ready-to-go bulletin for all three BAS liturgical years and the full BCP liturgical year on the diocesan website. The bulletins outline the movement of the service and reference page numbers in the liturgical texts used. The Word version bulletins are fully editable and may be changed according to parish needs. To download the bulletins, please visit https://edmonton.anglican.ca/parish-info/pages/service-bulletins.
Give yourself the early Christmas gift of pre-planning. It is the gift that keeps on giving!!
