Have I Posted Lately
on how the good people of St. Paul's never cease to amaze me with their generosity? With a bit of fear and trepidation, given the current economy, we put forward a request for new altar linens (ours had holes!), and a gold parament and vestment set for Easter. The response of the people was overwhelming. We've not only ordered the gold for Easter, but the scarlet for Holy Week, replaced our acolyte robes (ratty albs replaced with cassocks and cottas), AND ordered six new fair linens for the altar - effectively replacing all our old ones. And there's still a bit left over. Where are we getting the paraments, you ask? D. K. Brunner and Son! Where else? Why pay more when you can get more bang for your buck!

The best thing about gold is that you can use it to replace white, red, or even green, whenever you like! Perhaps all high feasts with octaves. Maybe even every Sunday after Easter as well . . .
Now, Brian. You KNOW I'm a stickler for LSB rubrics - not because they're the best, necessarily, but because they are what we as a Synod have agreed to.
Cotta, cotta -- oh yeah, surplice!
Sort of the mini-skirt version of the same...
What all will the vestment set include?
I look forward to seeing them!
Samwise,
We look forward to seeing you and Lisa again!
It will include stole and chasuble to match the paraments.
