This year, continuing our effort to bring the catechism part by part to Confessional Lutherans and their congregations we are going to be focusing on the Apostles’ Creed. Borrowing the language from the Large Catechism we are using the theme of “Created to be Redeemed and Sanctified”. Authors have worked on a devotion which will be available for printing or purchasing prior to Ash Wednesday.
Here is the Service Plan:
