“Every section of the Small Catechism has the same goal at its core: getting God’s work in Christ to penetrate deep inside your heart. As you will see in the story of how the Small Catechism came to be, Luther saw firsthand how far removed the gospel was from his people’s experience. So he set about crafting a proclamation of that word by which the Holy Spirit would create faith in 16th-century readers, in believers since 1520, and in you.” – from the study book By Heart: Conversations with Martin Luther’s Small Catechism published by Augsburg Fortress.
Beginning on Sunday, September 8, 2024, Pr. Jennifer will lead a new class during Faith Formation time in Hillmer Chapel. The class topic is “Luther’s Small Catechism – It’s Not Just for Confirmation!”. This 5-session class for adults will familiarize (or re-familiarize) you with Luther’s Small Catechism. It focuses mainly on the history surrounding this foundational teaching from Luther and looking deeper into Luther’s explanation of the Ten Commandments, the Creed, and the Lord’s Prayer. All interested adults are invited to join us at 8:45AM, as we wind our way through Luther’s elegant theology to better understand our faith and how it is grounded in God’s work in Christ.
