Hello, Guildmembers and Friends!

As we approach our next issue, which is destined to hit your inboxes on August 1, my co-editors

Kristin Haakenson

and

Sara Dietz

and I (

Dixie Dillon Lane

) are just popping in to remind you that submissions for this issue are due by Friday, July 26! (Of course, if for some reason you need a few more days, just send us an e-mail letting us know your situation.)

**Updated to add, for those who are new around here: Signs + Seasons publishes roundups (annotated links posts) of liturgical-living-related posts, essays, interviews, and articles. We don’t publish your pieces directly to our site. Instead, we ask you to submit links to pieces that you have published on your own ‘stacks or elsewhere, so that we may include them in our round-ups.**

We’d love to see anything that you’ve been up to since May that is related to liturgical living, so roughly coinciding with this large block of Ordinary Time that we’ve been experiencing since Pentecost.

In other words, please share with us the fruits of your summer so far!

(Sorry, I just had to find a way to tie berries and other fruits in here. Because I love foraging for berries and picking peaches in summer, and I love making jam from them!! Anyways…now back to our regularly scheduled programming.)

Topics might include:

• - Ordinary Time in general — Meaning? Purpose? Experience? Celebration?

• - “Ordinary” Sunday and family feast day celebrations

• - Other “ordinary” rhythms of family, community, or personal prayer

• - Solemnities and other feast days in late May, June, July and August (you’ll get another crack at August feasts in the following issue, too). So, for example, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, Corpu Christi, the Visitation, the Sacred Heart, and the Ascension. (But there are many more, too!)
