This is the Last Sunday after Pentecost- also known as Christ the King Sunday. The Scripture readings and hymns will reflect this theme on this last Sunday of the church year. Next week, Nov. 30, is the first Sunday of Advent and the beginning of the new church year.
Church school will meet this week and the confirmation class will gather after church. Anyone interested in being confirmed or being received into the Episcopal Church is welcome to join in.

During Advent, parishioners are invited to read selections from the Austrian poet, Rainer Maria Rilke. He published a series of poems entitled, Love Poems to God. Copies of these poems are available at the church. To learn about Rilke and his works, you can follow this link and read excerpts of his poems as translated by Joanna Macy.
