Matthew 25:1-13; Amos 5:18-24 | Ever heard of “the Day of the Lord”? Much has been said, and claimed, about what this “day” might be like, often leading to various images of darkness and wrath. And yet, in the whole of Scripture, God gives us a different promise of what the “Day of the Lord” is all about: a day of liberation and hope. Where do we see that image? Join us for worship this weekend as we reframe our perception of our bridegroom’s coming, leading us to look to the future not in fear, but in joyful expectation for the coming celebration of God’s Kingdom.
Sunday, November 8, 2026 Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost
