Our new acolyte cassocks and cottas have arrived! The old ratty ones are now officially IN THE TRASH. I'm so glad we've finally replaced them - and huge thanks to the donors. Now, if only CPH would publish a beautiful Gospel Book for my acolytes to carry...

HANG ON! Can our church PLLEEEEAASEEEEE have your old one? Pretty please? I'll personally pay to have them shipped here, or I'll make the drive and get them.
I can sew and mend like nothing else and my dear long-suffering husband wants to start a cherub choir and have them in robes....
(Praying your old ones aren't ACTUALLY in the trash yet...)
Oh, Jen. Actually they ARE in the trash, but I can pull them out. But they are such a mess - yellowed and very cheap - holes and such. Still, you'd be welcome to them.
Yup, I can pull one apart and use it as a pattern. That would still save us purchasing a pattern. Do you have the cassocks, too, or just the surplice?
I'd like to see CPH make a "Book Of The Gospels" cover (bright red with a large LCMS cross front and center) for the three-year lectionaries.
We could use the same cover for each of the lectionaries.
Wow, looks like me 50 years ago!
Put a little pointier hood on what I see in most LCMS churches, and you could wear it to the KKK youth club.
Do the girls look good in the new ones too?
Nobody but nobody needs to walk up the aisle with a book over his head.
As to the three year, what we need to do is hunt up J or K from Men In Black, borrow the "flashy thingy" and remove all memory that Rome ever did that to the lectionary.

Um... no, thanks!

I believe it was you, Bro Will, who assured me that indeed a fitting Gospel Book was in the plan for the COW and CPH... but that was several years ago... I am still waiting
I bought a Year B lectionary from CPH to use until my diocese' revision of the 3 year lectionary was published. My wife is a quilter, and she made a nice cover for it. I use it when a processional book is needed. While I understand the rationale of processing with just the Gospels, I also feel it is appropriate to process with the entireity of the word as well...

Rob,
Would you be kind enough to send me a picture of the cover she made?
