Preparation for Sunday Service
For Sunday the 8th of November, 2026 (Proper 27)
As we gather for worship this morning the focus on the final judgment is unmistakable. Through the prophet Amos the Lord makes it clear that for some the day of his coming will be like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. Yet though doom and gloom will be part of the judgment, St. Paul assures us that for all who are in Christ the last day will be a day of joy and gladness. These two truths about that day make being prepared of supreme importance. All who are prepared are wise, and will join in the great wedding feast of the Lamb in his kingdom. Those who foolishly are unprepared will be forever shut out. May the Lord grant us to be ready when he comes.
