Sunday Divine Service of Word and Sacrament - 10:30 am
Lutherans teach that worship is not something that we do in order to please God, but what God does for us so that we may be forgiven and strengthened in our walk of faith. God does not need our worship, but we need his gifts of forgiveness. We come to the church to hear and receive God's Word of Law and Gospel in preaching and teaching. We also come to be participants in the sacraments through which God works His grace and forgiveness so that we are reassured and strengthened of His love for us. In response to this grace and mercy we give thanks, pray and praise God for all of His gifts given to us, but all of this is done according to what He has first given to us.
Christian Education Hour for Adults and Children - 9:30 am
to think we can finish learning in one hour what God himself cannot finish teaching! Actually, he is busy teaching it from the beginning of the world to the end, and all prophets and saints have been busy learning it and have always remained pupils, and must continue to do so.
