Christ the King Sunday

This Sunday, November 21, we celebrate Christ the King Sunday.  This Sunday marks the bridge between ordinary time after Pentecost and the beginning of Advent that starts the new church year.  This Sunday’s purpose is to celebrate the reign of Christ as King.  This service will use scripture and song to offer a worshipful reflection on the fulfillment that Christ brings to the reign of God.  Our scripture for the day will be Psalm 93, which is called an “enthroned” or “royal” Psalm.  It was composed to be set to music and sung within worship liturgy as it proclaimed “The Lord is King.”  This Psalm highlights God’s reign from the very foundation of the world and points us to the Messianic age that brings fulfillment of the reign of God, as the whole world recognizes that Christ is King.
