Catechesis for Epiphany Two (John 2:1-11) 2020

Posted on by

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.

In this video from Jan 15, 2020, we learned stanza 3 of “The People That in Darkness Sat” (Lutheran Worship, #77), the third and fourth question of the Small Catechism on Holy Baptism, “What does such baptizing with water indicate?” and John 1:14.  This service is designed to prepare God’s people for the theme of the upcoming Sunday Divine Service.  The dialog sermon explains Jesus’ first miracle of turning the water into wine (John 2:1-11), which is the Holy Gospel for the Second Sunday after the Epiphany.

The service concludes with “Responsive Prayer for Catechesis 2020” (pdf link below).
