In The End

Christ promised that one day he would return. The Christian worship year, which begins with Advent and the hopefulness of Christ’s birth, ends with Reign of Christ Sunday (this year celebrated on Nov. 23rd). In the weeks leading up to this climactic day, we’ll combine passages from the Revised Common Lectionary with other relevant texts to discover how Christ’s eventual return gives us hope, not only for the next life, but in the here-and-now.
