Christ the King Sunday – This is the last Sunday of Ordinary Time just before we begin Advent. Christians have long celebrated Jesus as Christ, and his reign as King is celebrated in Advent (when Christians wait for his second coming in glory). Christ’s kingship is one of humility and service.
Happy Birthday– Marsha Dobson, Perry Bowen (Nov. 27), Ruth TenHoven (Nov. 29). Happy Anniversary – Perry and Virginia Bowen (Nov. 24), Fortunes (Nov. 28)
