Christ the King Lutheran Church Labor Day Weekend Divine Service Saturday 9/5/2026 5:30 pm. Sunday 9/6/2026 9:30 am.

O people, rise and labor
To renovate the heart
That mankind’s mighty Savior,
Whom God’s love set apart
To free you from all sin,
May do the promised wonder
And with his life and splendor,
Victorious enter in.

Labor Day. One of God’s great gifts to His people is the gift of work. Adam and Eve in the image and likeness of God, were set into Eden to work it and care for all God’s creation. In Christ the image lost to us by sin and death is restored. Forgiven and in His blood given the very righteousness of Jesus we are restored, we now live lives of repentance and faith. For Jesus the resurrected Christ of God, ascended to the right hand of the Father is coming again on His victorious splendor. We make ready for Him by hearing His Word and by receiving His body and blood. In His strength we love our neighbors as ourselves.
