Bible Study - Luther's Catechetical Hymns - These Are the Holy Ten Commands (LSB 581)

Martin Luther was not only a great theologian, he also understood how putting the truths of Scripture to music can aid in remembering those truths.  Therefore, among his many hymns, he wrote hymns that correspond to each of the six chief parts of his catechism.  This link (https://1drv.ms/w/s!AoUyqbGDm8qnkw2XlY_7DPF1nRKi) will provide you with a Bible study and the text of These Are the Holy Ten Commands, Luther's hymn pertaining to the Ten Commandments.  You can find a video on our Facebook page where I discuss this Bible study.

Thursday, March 19, 2020

The Board of Elders, Pastor, and Vicar met last night to discuss the current situation with Covid-19 and how Grace Lutheran will respond.  In working to abide by current government guidelines, there will be no activities and in-person services at Grace for the next two weeks (until March 31). We plan to live-stream a service via Facebook at 10:30 on Sunday morning. We also hope to have a link on this web page that will allow you to view the service at a later time if you don't have Facebook. In two weeks, we will meet to re-assess the situation. 

Daily devotional resources can be found at https://thewordendures.org/ and https://higherthings.org/reflections/  and https://www.lhm.org/dailydevotions/.  Other possibilities for worship services online include
www.mainstreetliving.com and https://worshipanew.org/.  Main Street Living also airs on KCAU out of Sioux City and KLKN out of Lincoln at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. The Lutheran Hour radio program broadcasts on KBRX out of O'Neill on FM 102.9 and AM 1350 at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoons.

Please contact Pastor Rosenthal or Vicar Bartens if you are in need of pastoral care.  The church office will continue to be open during normal hours.
