Preparation for Sunday Service
For Sunday the 16th of August, 2026 (Proper 15)
As we gather for worship today the Scripture readings emphasize our place in God’s kingdom. Though not members of His people by birth, that is descendants of Abraham and Jacob, He has graciously gathered us too; that we might receive His mercy. And although we have no right to make demands on Him, He willingly and eagerly accepts our worship and prayer. More than this, He works to strengthen and prove our faith and when His efforts succeed, commends us for our faith. What a wonderful and loving God we have!
