Join us this November as we celebrate the rich harvest of God's grace and the hope of the life to come.  

Sunday, November 13    
Suffering for Jesus' sake
9:30 am Worship - Morning Prayer
The end is near. There is no doubt about it. The warnings are dire. The tone of today’s texts is ominous. But the baptized know how to live in the “meantimes.” The baptized are strengthened for the living of these days in word and sacrament. The baptized rally around the invitation of the apostle: “Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing what is right.” 

Sunday, November 20 Reign of Christ (the King)   
Jesus speaks blessings and woes
9:30 am Worship - Morning Prayer
Jeremiah’s promise of the execution of “justice and righteousness in the land” finds ironic fulfillment in the execution of Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. It appears so utterly contradictory that the king should be crucified with the criminal. This victory appears for all the world as ignominious defeat. Yet through the gate of death our Lord opens the door to paradise. 

In-person worship resumed March 7, 2021.
Worship services are broadcast on Facebook live each Sunday morning at 9:30 am.
