This is the last Sunday of the church year, celebrated as Christ the King Sunday!  Advent begins our new church year next week.

Please note that as we gather in worship, there are several guidelines we must follow in order to stay safe, the primary ones being...
  • Wear a mask that covers your mouth and nose
  • Keep a physical distance of no less than 6 feet from others
  • Sanitize your hands frequently

The Collect of the Day for this Sunday:

Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

A Prayer for the Future of the Human Race: O God our heavenly Father, you have blessed us and given us dominion over all the earth: Increase our reverence before the mystery of life; and give us new insight into your purposes for the human race, and new wisdom and determination in making provision for its future in accordance with your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
