Catechesis on All Saints’ Day (St. Matthew 5:1-12)

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 October 28, 2020, we learned stanza 1 of “I Am Trusting You, Lord Jesus” (Lutheran Worship, #408, The Lutheran Hymnal #428), the second petition of the Lord’s Prayer and its meaning, and Matthew 5:3.  This service is designed to prepare God’s people for the theme of the upcoming Sunday Divine Service.  The dialog sermon explains Jesus’ teaching on the beatitudes (St. Matthew 5:1-12), which is the Holy Gospel for All Saints’ Day.

The service concludes with “Recite Word by Word. ” (pdf link Recite-Word-by-Word.pdf).
