Passing the Buck
Last night, our music season at church kicked off with a party for the adult musicians. When I told Peter about the upcoming activities, I described the room where we would eat:“As you walk in, Christmas music is playing over the speakers and the tables are decked with holiday colors [striped red and white this year]."
“Mom, that’s weird. It’s HOT outside!”
“After eating, we assemble in the music room to sing Christmas music. After a while, we switch over to Easter music.”
His indignation heightened. “Mom, Easter is NEXT YEAR!!” His sense of liturgical timing had been assaulted.
“Peter, everyone likes to sing Easter hymns. Let’s sing one right now.“
We belted out the first verse of “Jesus Christ is Risen Today,” which he sang with great gusto.
“Peter, I saw you smile as you sang that song! It is fun, isn’t it?”
“Yes, but Mom, it’s still a weird idea. Celebrating Christmas and Easter, now?”
“Actually, Peter, it wasn’t my idea. I heard about this kind of party from . . . Pastor!”
