The last Sunday of the Church Year: Christ the King*

                                              Psalm 118
                                   the first and last verse. 

    

Give thanks 

to the Lord, 

for he is 

good; his 

mercy 

endures 

forever.   

 *I love today - the Last Sunday of the year -
it’s all blaring trumpets and lights and gold. And
the very next week it’s the First Sunday of Advent
and we are purple and are quietly waiting in the dark
again, We live in this seesaw of here and not yet here…… 

Today we celebrate CS Lewis, born 1898, apologist and spiritual writer who died on this day in 1963.

LET
ANY-
ONE
WHO
WISHES
TAKE THE WATER OF LIFE AS A GIFT.

“I believe in Christianity 

as I believe

 that  the sun 

has risen; not 

only because 

I see it, but 

because 

by it 

I see."

Pray today for all colleges & universities, for those who are search-

ing for meaning & truth, & for those who make Christianity clear & compelling.
