This Sunday we focus on the most important part of our work of WELS and of Abiding Peace and that is --- the forgiveness of sins. Without the forgiveness of sins (planned for us by God, achieved for us by Jesus, and given to us by the Holy Spirit) we would have no peace and hope. But we do! We rejoice in it, live it, and we proclaim it.
