Trinity's Pastor Writes

On Wednesday nights, Trinity Lutheran Church(Herrin, IL) offers to both children and adults an opportunity for teaching with Learn-by-Heart at 6:30 PM and a catechetical service at 7:00 PM. This service is designed to prepare God’s people for the theme of the upcoming Sunday Divine Service.  The dialog sermon explains the parable of the laborers in the vineyard (St. Matthew 20:1-16), which is the Holy Gospel for Septuagesima Sunday. Learn-by-Heart will include “O God, May We E'er Pure Retain” (The Augustana Service Book and Hymnal #80), Small Catechism, Office of the Keys 1-2 and meaning, and 1 Timothy 2:3-4. --Michael D.
