Preparation for Sunday Service
For Sunday the 23rd of August, 2026 (Proper 16)
As we gather for worship today the readings prompt us to consider the marvelous grace God has shown us. Long before we even looked to Him He saw us in our bondage to sin—and thus to death—and mercifully revealed Himself and His saving plan to us. By an incomprehensible love He fully satisfied the demands of His divine justice, releasing us from our bonds, making us His own people, and promising us entrance to His eternal kingdom. Truly, “To Him be glory forever! Amen.”
