Sundays at All Hallows (October 18, 2026) Is Now Online

Welcome to Sundays at All Hallows.

This Sunday, October 18, 2026, is the Twentieth Sunday after Trinity. It is also the feast day of Saint Luke the Evangelist. Luke wrote one of three Synoptic Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, an account of the New Testament Church, particularly the conversion of the apostle Paul, his missionary efforts, and his arrest and his appeal to the Roman Emperor which led to his imprisonment and subsequent execution in Rome. Luke was one of Paul’s companions at various times on his missionary journeys and travels. In his Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles Luke emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit. This emphasis has earned the two documents, which form a single narrative, the description of being “the gospel of the Holy Spirit.”

The topic of this Sunday’s message is Jesus’ command to ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest field.

Just a reminder. The MP3s of the simple piano accompaniment for the metrical versions of the Benedictus and the Te Deum for the remaining Sunday for Trinitytide, the Season after Trinity, contains no vocals, just the tune played on the piano. Each accompaniment begins with a brief introduction. The tunes, KINGSFOLD and TALLIS’ CANON(EIGTH TUNE), were picked for their wide use in hymnals and other collections of sacred music and the greater likelihood of familiarity to the singer.

Readings: Isaiah 35: 3-6, 2 Timothy 4: 5-17, and Luke 10: 1-9

Message: “Pray to the Lord of the Harvest….”
