Christ the King Sunday - A Journey Through the Church Year

November 24, 2024
Christ the King Sunday is the last Sunday of the churches calendar year. Next Sunday we begin a new church year in the season of Advent. So, like the end of any year that has passed, we celebrate what has happened and look forward to the future filled with hope! Today celebrates the coming reign of Christ as King of the earth and his completion of the renewed creation that marks the fullness of the kingdom of God. That hope is born from the entire life of Christ and his teachings that have been celebrated in the seasons of the church year these past twelve months.
The past twelve months we have followed in the steps of Jesus as he was birthed in a stable, as he walked the dusty hillsides of Galilee, opened blind eyes and made the lame to walk again. As he taught the multitudes and the disciples, as he was crucified, and rose. We have celebrated the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, reflected on the mission of the church, and what it means to be a disciple of Christ.
Today we celebrate Christ as past, present, and future King over all the earth and the hope for the coming kingdom! You are invited to watch as the seasons change with colors. Listen to the stories told along the journey. Sing the songs of our church year. Participate in the acts of Christ. Come and see!
