 WELCOME! The joyful Eastertide now reaches its glorious extent and gives way to the season of Pentecost beginning June 4, the Great Day of Pentecost. As of Thursday, we have passed the observance of The Ascension of our Lord and now we will begin the season of Christian growth in Word and in Sacrament. Yet, there is one more Sunday of Easter–today! Interestingly our Gospel takes place in the Upper Room on Maundy Thursday, just before Jesus goes to the Garden of Gethsemane and His arrest, trial and death on Good Friday. This is His "High Priestly Prayer." Jesus asks the Father to guard and protect His Disciples by the power and truth of His own Word. "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son that the Son may glorify You, since You have given Him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You the only true God , and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." Thanks be to God! Christ is working at Christ the King - Come join us!
