Catechism for the Rest of Us
Exploring the basics of Lutheran faith … again or for the first time
Whether you grew up memorizing Martin Luther’s Small Catechism, never read it before, or wonder about its relevance for today, you are invited to “Catechism for the Rest of Us.” Each month, we’ll read and reflect on a portion of the Small Catechism before gathering for questions and conversation about the basics of Lutheran faith. Study guides for each topic will be published in Grace Notes and on the website at the beginning of the month, with a gathering time later in the month on Sunday at 6:30 pm. Folks are also welcome to gather in their own small groups!
Monthly topics, study guides, and in-person discussions:
September 20 at 6:30 pm – Getting Started: Welcome for the Rest of Us
October 25 at 6:30 pm – The 10 Commandments
November 22 at 6:30 pm – The Apostles’ Creed
January 24 at 6:30 pm – The Sacraments (2½): Baptism, Communion, and…Confession
