We have a New Catechesis Plan for 2020-2021!!!
As Pastor Behnke reminded us from Luther’s Small Catechism, Luther wrote the
Six Chief Parts “As the head of family should teach them in a simple way to his household (Luther’s Small Catechism with Explanation, p.11).” With this in mind, Pastor Cutler and Pastor Frazee will be administering catechesis courses on
Sunday mornings with the involvement of the public and parochial 7th and 8th grade catechumens together with their parents at 8am and a Wednesday night Bible Accounts Club for our 5th and 6th graders at 5:15pm. Pastor Cutler and Pastor
Frazee hope that with this change we will all continue to grow in our catechetical knowledge and in our faith in our Risen Lord Jesus Christ.
