“A Different Kind of King”
Today is "Reign of Christ" Sunday in the Christian calendar. Jesus was (and is) a different kind of king. In what ways is he different? We'll compare his words and actions from the cross (Luke 23:33-43) with prophecies, guidelines and warnings about leaders and kings from earlier in Israel's history. But more than that, we will spend some time listening to Jesus, encountering him together in response to his presence, comfort, encouragement and instruction.

“Giving In Love”
As we explore the third part of our mission statement—Giving in Love—we are reminded that this isn’t something we do out of duty, but how we live as those already loved, a way of joining in God’s own extravagant self-giving. Paul’s words to the Ephesians aren’t rules for behavior management but rhythms to practice love. We are God’s beloved children, learning how to live like it. Stewardship is living into what we already are: people whose lives reflect the generous love of Christ.

“Gathered In Community”
This week, we explore the second part of our mission statement “Gathered in Community.” What does a mature and healthy community look like? Through the wisdom of Ephesians 4:1-16 and the Benedictine rhythm of ora et labora—prayer and work, alone and together—we discover how the “me” and “we” are necessary for transformation. Humility, gifts, and shared labor form us into a body that grows up in love.
