Within the Father’s House
Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

You Shall Call His Name Jesus
Grace, mercy, and peace be unto you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.

He Who Comes in the Name of the Lord
Grace, mercy, and peace be unto you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, amen.
Welcome to a new church year. Thank the ladies of the Altar Guild for the beautiful job they did in presenting such a glorious sight for the feast of our eyes to see. We are blessed also with the fact we are surrounded not only by this that have been put…
The Word of Freedom
Grace, mercy, and peace be unto you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, amen.
This doesn’t happen very often that the actual day of the Reformation falls on that Sunday. Usually we always have to move to the Sunday nearest to it and celebrate it on that day. Today we celebrate it on that day. This day is not just about being…
Through Me, the Message Is Proclaimed
Grace, mercy, and peace be
unto you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
amen.

Humble Thankfulness
Grace, mercy, and peace be
unto you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Amen. Brothers and sisters in Christ, the text is the gospel reading.
