God’s Grace for All
"God’s Grace for All"
Sermon by The Rev. Ranie Neislar
September 14, 2025
We heard good news in the gospel, and sometimes good news is unsettling, like abundant grace for all that feels frustrating. In today’s parable we learn God’s people are infinitely precious, that we can be the 99 or the one, and yet no one is beyond God’s irrational, even wasteful-seeming grace. God’s dream is a reconciled, diverse community, but wounds of polarization threaten us, and we are reminded that we are made to receive and extend grace—to those near, those wandering, and even those we think don’t deserve it.

Blast Off with the Adult Choir! Come be a part of the New Generation of choir members!! We need you to step up and boldly go where so many great singers have gone before. Come to Choir Camp, come to a rehearsal, don that robe and grab a black folder, and sing to the Lord a new song! Talk to Melanie ( mcouch@allsaintsbhm.org ) or any Adult Choir member about giving it a try. Musicians of all skill levels are welcome. You are welcome even if singing in a choir would be a brave new world for you! Choir Camp is at Camp McDowell August 28-30 (the same weekend as the Parish Retreat). You can come for any part of the weekend to explore this final frontier. Wednesday rehearsals are 6:30-8:30 each week starting on September 2. Anyone is welcome to check it out!
