Christ the King Church opens its doors to the community on Saturday, December 2nd at 3PM to the Celtic music group “Fine Spirits.” The concert is titled “A Celtic Christmas Ceilidh,” and the audience will be treated to sacred and secular Christmas Music from the Celtic lands in a warm, informal setting.

“We are thrilled to host a couple of concerts a year at Christ the King Church,” says Reverend Charlie Vensel. “They are all open to the public. We can’t think of a better way to kick off the Christmas season than to have ‘Fine Spirits’ join us for our Christmas concert. We know it will be quality music, entertaining, and celebratory.” The event would be best enjoyed by anyone over age 8.

The concert begins at 3:00 p.m. and will finish around 4 p.m. No tickets are necessary. Read More

What is Christ the King Sunday?

Christ the King Sunday holds a special place in the liturgical calendar of the Anglican Church. This feast, observed on the last Sunday before Advent, serves as a powerful reminder of the sovereignty of Christ and the significance of his reign in the hearts of Anglican believers. Rooted in centuries of tradition, this celebration stands as a testament to the Anglican commitment to worship, reflection, and the acknowledgment of Jesus as the supreme ruler.

The origins of Christ the King Sunday trace back to the Roman Catholic Church, where Pope Pius XI established it in 1925 as a response to the growing secularism and the challenges posed by ideologies that sought to replace Christ’s authority. The Anglican Communion embraced this celebration, recognizing the need to reaffirm the lordship of Christ in a world fraught with shifting values. Read More

What is All Saints Day?

All Saints’ Day holds a special place of reverence and celebration within the liturgical calendar. Rooted in Christian history and theology, All Saints’ Day serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of the Church, both earthly (the Church Militant) and heavenly (the Church Triumphant). Celebrated on the Sunday closest to November 1st, All Saints’ Day is a time for Anglicans to honor the saints who have gone before, acknowledging their exemplary lives and enduring legacies.

In the Anglican Communion, the observance of All Saints’ Day is characterized by a profound sense of continuity with the historical Church. Anglicans believe in the “communion of saints,” a concept that underscores the unity of the entire body of Christ, transcending time and space. This communion encompasses the living members of the Church, those who have passed on to the heavenly realm, and those still on their pilgrim journey on earth. All Saints’ Day is an occasion to celebrate this mystical connection and express gratitude for the saints who have played pivotal roles in shaping the faith. Read More
