Of course, what one wants is a very early Easter so one can get to those last and rarely visited Sundays After Trinity!
Incidentally I looked at the (UK) Methodist Lectionary, it goes as you'd expect through the Sundays of Easter to Pentecost and Trinity Sunday ... but the following Sunday isn't the 1st after Trinity but the 12th in Ordinary Time. This continues up to the 33rd in Ordinary Time, then the Sunday Before Advent followed by Advent itself. I don't get it!

Unless you’re following the Revised Common Lectionary, where the readings after Pentecost are tied to the calendar week, e.g., “Proper 8” is the Sunday closest to June 29. That means a late Easter results in missing the first readings after Pentecost.

“Ordinary Time” is the term used by the Roman Catholic Church. It’s also used, along with “Sundays after Epiphany” or “after Pentecost,” in the PC(USA), and probably by others.
The Sunday after Epiphany is technically the first Sunday in Ordinary Time, though it’s never called that; it’s called the Baptism of the Lord. The following Sunday is the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. If the last Sunday before Ash Wednesday in a given year is, say, the Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, the first Sunday after Pentecost will be the the Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time (but will called Trinity Sunday).
Designating Sundays as being “after Trinity” is unique in my experience to Anglican churches. The Episcopal Church here in the U.S. used to do it, but doesn’t anymore.
Today at the Presbyterian Association of Musicians’ Worship &Music Conference, the hymns were:
“All with Joyful Exaltation” (Ps. 30)/YISRAEL V’ORAITA
“Goodness is Stronger than Evil”/GOODNESS IS STRONGER
“All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly”/HOLY MANNA
“What Does the Lord Require of You?”/MOON
“Jesu, Jesu, Fill Us with Your Love”/CHEREPONI

Except for those few cranky 1928 prayer book holdouts...
e.g. St. John's Detroit or St. John's Savannah
or the Missal-based parishes like S. Clement's Philadelphia.

What, no metrical psalms??? Call yourself a Presbyterian?????!!!

David and I got married according to the (English) 1928 Prayer Book, and very lovely it was too.
Rev'd Rosie has been messing about with the service booklets and now we appear to be in "ordinary time" rather than "Sundays after Trinity".
If it ain't broke, why does she have to try and fix it???

Well, I never claimed this was a group of good Presbyterians. You know how naughty musicians can be.
Today, the hymns were:
“Shall We Gather at the River”/HANSON PLACE
“Just as I Am”/WOODWORTH
“Sometimes a Light Surprises”/SALLEY GARDENS
In connection with another thread, this morning’s service was a service of healing and wholeness. @Alan29, anointing was offered for those who wanted it.
Looking ahead to Sunday, when Our Place is observing the Feast of St Peter and St Paul:
Captains of the saintly band (Harts* is the tune set in the Orange Book)
Something from The Sheet Our Father (Caribbean - yet again - why? ) Our God loves us (Plaisir d'amour) Thy hand O God has guided (Thornbury)
