“*Abomination of desolation*,” “*flee to the mountains*,” “*alas for women who are pregnant*,” “*great tribulation*.” This Sunday’s readings bring us toward the end of time. It’s apocalyptic. But the point is: be ready. Don’t be led astray, either by the comfort of ease or by false doctrine. Cling to Christ, His Word, and His Sacrament. Such gifts are profoundly necessary for us today! Join us this *Sunday at 8am at Grace* and *11am at Trinity* to gather around Christ and receive from Him.
