Week of 3/11

Psalms Bible Study
This Sunday, March 11, our Psalms Bible Study continues with "Psalms on the Messiah." If you'd like, you may read Psalms 22, 45, and 110 to prepare for this study. Come and bring a friend. (We won't meet on March 18 because of Spring Break at UWM.)

Union Table
We're hosting a Union Table on Tuesday, March 13. We need volunteers to help host it. If you can, please let Rachel or Vicar know. Also, stop by and see us on Tuesday if you have a chance.

Table Talk
This Wednesday, at 8:30 AM in Union Room 147, we will discuss Luke 15:11-32, "The Parable of the Prodigal Son" and how it relates to the Church's practice of Private Confession and Absolution.

Catechism and Hymn Study
On Wednesdays in Lent, you are invited to join us for Lenten dinner at 5:15 PM, followed by our Lenten Vespers at 6 PM.

Because Lent is a time of focus on catechesis, we will hold a CATECHISM AND HYMN STUDY after Vespers. We'll spend about 30 minutes on a Scripture passage and the catechism and about 30 minutes discussing some hymns. We'll include some musical recordings and some singing.
Catechism Discussion: 2 Samuel 11 and 12 "The Prophet Nathan Ministers to David;" We will examine this Scriptural account and the chief part on "Confession" from Luther's Small Catechism.
Hymnody Discussion: What is a Lutheran hymn? Where does the story of Lutheran hymns start? Why do Lutherans sing what they sing? This will be an introduction to our on-going study of the story of the hymns in our hymnal from different time periods of church history.
Each week, we will study a different section of the catechism and a corresponding Bible account, followed by a study of Lutheran hymns.
(We won't meet on March 21 because of Spring Break at UWM.)
