Time for Treasury of Daily Prayer Users to Make the “Great Skip” for Lent
February 16th, 2010
From my colleague Rev. Scot Kinnaman, comes this helpful note: Users of Treasury of Daily Prayer will need to make the Great Skip in preparation for devotions on February 17th, Ash Wednesday. With the beginning of Lent, the Daily Lectionary changes from using calendar dates to using liturgical days. This handily accommodates the changeable dates of the festival half of the Church Year, which are all based on the date of Easter. So, long story short: February 17th, move your bookmark from the back of Treasury to page 24 in the front. And then carry on. (There is another Lesser Skip that happens at the conclusion of the Season after Easter, but well remind you about that in May.)

I’m glad you posted that, I’d be lost by the end of this month if you hadn’t, lol.
Thanks for letting me know. I bought the Treasury last fall, use it daily. I photoed (because I’d bought it and didn’t want to pack the books in my backpack for a trip) the pages for this week, and discovered Ash Wed I switch to another page. So I’ll call a friend in Seattle (where I’m visiting) and see if I can read his copy for today. Enjoyed visiting with a pastor yesterday in Seattle (I’m from Omaha). Appreciate your blog. It’s great.
