Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
-
Description
In 2008 we have a very rare occurrence of twelfth Sunday between Pentecost and the Festival of Transfiguration (August 6th).
This happened because we had a very early Easter this year - on March 23rd.
The next time Easter comes this early ie., on March 23rd will be in the year 2160.
That explains why you received a blank 'Scipture This Week' email from us.
We regret any inconvenience and thank you all for your continued support.
