We have begun with conversations around Luther’s Small Catechism, and focused specifically on the introduction and first petition of the Lords Prayer.
We will continue our talks on April 27th after worship in Luther Hall. Everyone is welcome.
Grab a coffee, and bring some curiosity and a copy of the ELW with you.
These conversations will be brief - depending on what depths we can mine together.
We are taking an Easter break and will resume on April 30th at 11AM BC time, and 12noon AB time.
Please, let the office know if you would like to participate.
The zoom link will be sent out on Monday or Tuesday.
Thank you for your generous contributions!
