This 4-Session Bible Study explores...

Martin Luther begins his Small Catechism's section on The Sacrament of the Altar: "It is the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ under the bread and wine, instituted by Christ himself for us Christians to eat and drink."

Such a significant gift deserves our return to consider its gifts as well as the challenges and opportunities with have in making use of it during pandemics and beyond.

This study is being offered to you in hybrid form, so you may participate either in person in the church fellowship hall or via Zoom.

5/6/2021 - Stewards of God's Mysteries

• CLICK HERE for Luther's Works, Volume 40, "Church and Ministry II, Concerning the Ministry"
• CLICK HERE for the ELCA's 2015 Statement on "The Use of the Means of Grace"
• CLICK HERE for the Lesson Outline for 5/6/2021
• The video "Celebrate What's Right with the World!" (with National Geographic photographer Dewitt Jones) does not speak directly to stewardship of Holy Communion, but I believe it sets a grace-centered tone of celebration for questioning our sacramental stewardship. What lens are we using in our decisions in our sacramental practices?
