Christ the King Sunday : Last Sunday After Pentecost

The last Sunday after Pentecost, before the start of a new church year at Advent, is known as “Christ the King Sunday.” We end the liturgical year with a shout of praise to Jesus who rules every square inch of the cosmos and who is even now restoring the world to the glory of its Creator. Worship King Jesus today - for all that has been restored, all that is being restored, and all that will be finally and forever restored.
