	PC(USA) Special Days and Seasons

	Some dates have particular liturgical significance, and so are emphasized as especially appropriate for the celebration of the Lord's Supper () and Baptism (*). It remains the responsibility of the session to set dates for the celebration of the sacraments. Programmatic dates on the calendar are recommended for participation in churchwide program emphases.
