Sunday 23rd November 2025 - Last Sunday of the Church Year

Together Sharing Christ’s Love

Welcome to:

Redeemer, Macalister

St Mark’s, Dalby

Liturgical Colour: Green

The ‘Last Sunday of the Church Year’ may be seen as a day when the focus is on God’s ‘fulfilment’ of his judgment and salvation. For us Christians, this is at the same time the ‘fulfilment’ of the hope to which we were called at our baptism.
