Unexpected Advent Reading

10:58am (two minutes until church starts)

Pastor: Curtis, are you guys ready for this?
Me: Yeah.... Wait. Ready for what?
Pastor: The advent reading. (He motions over to the candles.)
Me: ???
Pastor: This week it is your family's turn. See, it's right here in the bulletin. You didn't see the email?
Me: !!!

Anyway, it went fine. The kids were excited about lighting a candle.
