You can glance at this list to see what’s up for this next Sunday, or read through for a sense of the flow and movement and meaning in our Sundays and seasons in the church.
JULY & AUGUST 2024
In July, we continue with the Sundays After Pentecost, also known as Ordinary Time or "Orderly" Time, when we consider events in church history and Jesus's ministry in roughly the order they appear in Scripture. This season continues until the three Festival Sundays (Reformation, All Saints, Christ the King) that conclude the church year in October and November.
During August, we break from the Ordinary Time lectionary for a special Sermon Series by Pastor Mark called "Faith Questions." Watch for more details.
