Sundays at All Hallows (August 23, 2026) Is Now Online

Welcome to Sundays at All Hallows.

This Sunday, August 23, 2026, is the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity. It is the Twenty-First Sunday of Ordinary Time. This year is the sixth year that All Hallows Murray has been online. All Hallows Murray was primarily launched to serve those who are unable to attend a church in their locality for one reason or another and to provide services for small groups gathering for worship in houses, apartments, and other non-traditional settings.

A secondary purpose of Thursday Evenings and Sundays at All Hallows is to introduce small and medium-sized churches to the wide variety of hymns, worship songs, and service music that is available to churches with limited musical resources.

For this Sunday’s Invitatory Psalm you have a choice, the original version of Michael Perry’s metrical paraphrase of the Venite (Psalm 95), “Come Worship God,” or the inclusive language version. The organ accompaniment for both versions is the same-- Joseph Francis Thrupp’s hymn tune EPIPHANY.

Alternative hymn tunes include the seventeenth century French plainchant, O QUANTA QUALIA; Southern Harmony’s shaped note hymn tune, STAR IN THE EAST; and the Irish folk melody, STREETS OF LAREDO (THE BARD OF ARMAGH). You will find recordings of these tunes online.

In this Sunday’s message we take a look at the different ways people answer a question Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do you say I am?”

Readings: Isaiah 51: 1-6, Romans 12: 1-8, and Matthew 16:13-20

Message: “Who Do You Say I Am?”
