This Sunday – Eucharist @12:00
with Tweens provision followed by Coffee in the Anglican Centre
Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends,
As we approach the joyous occasion of Christ the King this Sunday, my heart is filled with anticipation and gratitude for the opportunity to celebrate together. This day marks the culmination of the current Christian year, symbolizing the eschatological reign of Jesus Christ, our King above all kings.
In His benevolent reign, our Lord promises a world where no one suffers from hunger, thirst, homelessness, or solitude in prison. It is a vision of compassion and justice, where we, as His devoted servants, extend our care to the least among us. As Matthew 25:40 reminds us, in our service to the least of God’s family, we are, in fact, serving our King.
This Sunday, we will not only celebrate the reign of Christ the King but also take a moment to remember and honor the life of St. Catherine, our patron saint. Her dedication and sacrifice in service to Jesus Christ should serve as an inspiration for us all.
I extend a warm invitation to each one of you to join us in this special Sunday service. Let us come together in worship, gratitude, and fellowship, reflecting on the profound love and teachings of our Lord.
Looking forward to your presence among us.
Blessings to you,
+ Antonio Ablon
