Catechesis for First Sunday after Epiphany – January 8, 2025

January 08, 2025

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 “Jesus in the Temple” (St. Luke 2:41-52), which is the Holy Gospel for First Sunday After Epiphany.


Learn-by-Heart will include “O Splendor of God’s Glory Bright” (The Augustana Service Book and Hymnal #79), the third and fourth question of Holy Baptism with its meaning from Luther’s Small Catechism, and Isaiah 28:21.


–Michael D. Henson, Pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church (Herrin, IL).
