"Through the power of Christ, we are learning to live in simplicity, thankfulness, contentment and
generosity in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana."

Christ the King Sunday

Adoration of the Lamb - Jan van Eyck
The church year draws to a close next Sunday with Christ the King Sunday. 

UMDiscipleship says this about this day:

"So far, we’ve talked mostly about ourselves as saints or potential saints. Today, at the end of one church year and the cusp of the next, we speak and sing primarily of the one around whom the universe itself pivots, Christ the King, Shepherd of the saints.  Christ, our Shepherd-King gathers and makes saints from the most marginalized, damaged, abused, abandoned people on earth, leading the saints to eternal life now and in the new creation."


Scripture lessons from the lectionary are:
  • Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24
  • Psalm 100 
  • Ephesians 1:15-23
  • Matthew 25:31-46
