The season after Pentecost, also known as Ordinary Time, begins on the Monday following Pentecost and continues through the Saturday before the First Sunday of Advent. It may include as many as twenty-eight Sundays depending on the date of Easter. Major events of Jesus’ life are not observed during this season, but instead the focus is on the things he said and did throughout his time on earth. Ordinary Time is standard, normal, typical time. It is the time to focus on carrying out Gospel business, mission, and service. This is a period of the church year not dedicated to a particular season or observance. The color for this season is green symbolizing growth and renewal.

The CECM Bishop's Committee will hold its regularly scheduled meeting at 12 noon, in the Parish Hall. It is an open meeting for all who would like to attend.

Morning Prayer will be celebrated at 10:30 am. All are welcome to join us! Come early to enjoy fellowship and refreshment in the Parish Hall. 

The Last Sunday after Pentecost is Christ the King Sunday. This celebration marks Christ's messianic kingship and sovereign rule over all creation. It emphasizes a kingship different from earthly rulers of power, but rather one of service and love. As the last Sunday of the Christian Church Year, Christ the King Sunday is the climax and conclusion of the Church’s liturgical journey through the life of Christ and the Gospel message. Its purpose is to celebrate the coming reign of Christ as King of the Earth and his completion of the renewed creation that marks the fullness of the Kingdom of God. Pope Pius XI instituted this feast in 1925 in the aftermath of WWI to emphasize that Jesus holds ultimate authority over all aspects of human life.

Holy Eucharist will be celebrated at 10:30 am. All are welcome to join us. If you are a baptized Christian of any tradition, we welcome you to receive Communion. Come...worship with us.

Advent Season is the first season of the church year, beginning with the fourth Sunday before Christmas and continuing through the day before Christmas. The season is a time of preparation and expectation for the coming celebration of our Lord's nativity and for the final coming of Christ. The circle of the Advent wreath symbolizes the eternity of God, and the greens represent continuous life. The red berries represent the blood shed by Christ for mankind. There are four candles, one for each week of Advent, and a center white candle that is the Christ candle. The first candle that is lighted is HOPE, the Prophecy Candle, in anticipation of the coming Messiah and of Isaiah’s foretelling of the birth of Christ. It is purple, a color symbolizing royalty.

Start the Advent Season with a wreath! This workshop will be held after church on November 29, in the Parish Hall. Join in the fun to create your own Advent Wreath to celebrate the season at home, too.

Sign up on the sheet in the Narthex and indicate if you have your own base or need one provided. If you can, bring fresh greenery and snacks to share. Candles will be provided.
