21st Sunday after Pentecost 2026

Grace Lutheran Church of Lily Lake 

Worship service 17th Sunday after Pentecost 2026

Oct 18th 2026

TODAY’S THEME: In today’s first reading God uses the Gentile ruler Cyrus to accomplish divine purposes. When the Pharisees try to trap Jesus, he tells them to give the emperor what belongs to him and to God what belongs to God. To gather for worship reminds us that our ultimate allegiance is to God rather than to any earthly authority. Created in the image of God, we offer our entire selves in the service of God and for the sake of the world.
