A shortened Catechesis to prepare for Invocabit/Lent One at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, February 22, 2023     Link to Live Stream

This Wednesday night, Trinity Lutheran Church(Herrin, IL) offers to both children and adults an opportunity for teaching with Learn-by-Heart from 6:30 to 7:00 PM.  Although we normally follow Learn-by-Heart with a Catechesis service designed to prepare God’s people for the theme of the upcoming Sunday Divine Service (The Temptation of Christ in the Wilderness from St. Matthew 4:1-11), this Wednesday we will not.  Instead there will be a Divine Service for Ash Wednesday.  Link to Ash Wednesday Divine Service

Learn-by-Heart will include “O Christ, Who Art the Light and Day” (The Augustana Service Book and Hymnal #20), Small Catechism, Sacrament of the Altar Second question and meaning, and Psalm 51:17.
