LIFE SUNDAY 2026: Fearfully and wonderfully made
“Fearfully and Wonderfully Made” is Lutherans For Life’s theme for Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, which is set for January 18, 2026. Your congregation can observe Sanctity of Human Life Sunday on that date or at any time during the year.
Our Life Sunday 2026 theme is based on Psalm 139:13-14: “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”
This Word of God reveals the care and intention that God takes in the creation of each and every human being. It teaches us that from the very first moments of our conception, God’s hands are upon us, carefully and lovingly crafting each one of us through our fathers and mothers. And while each person is created by God with their own unique characteristics and personalities, the care that God takes in creating each person shows us that every person, from the moment of fertilization on, is precious to God regardless of their age, size, condition, or ability.
Use our Life Sunday resources to help unpack this theme and what it means for the For Life movement, both nationally and in your congregation and community. Our prayer is that these materials will provide valuable information and encouragement to you, your community, and the life-affirming work you are engaged in.

A MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR THE VICTIMS OF ABORTION
A Memorial Service for the Pre-born Killed Since 1973 is a somber but meaningful service remembering the victims of abortion.
Best suited as a separate service apart from Sunday morning worship—perhaps on the eve of Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.
