St. Mark's New Canaan

11.23.25 "King of a Different Kind" - The Reverend Elizabeth Garnsey

St. Mark's New Canaan

The Last Sunday after Pentecost: Christ the King. 

Christ the King Sunday asks us to take a final look back before Advent begins. But the King we celebrate is nothing like the rulers of this world. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus is crowned not with gold but with suffering love — serving, healing, reconciling, and welcoming all as friends and children of God. His Kingdom isn’t a place we wait for; it’s a way of living the love already within us.
