Catechetical Week #21

February 1-5, 2010

VERSE:  Psalm 103:1-3  Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.  Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins. 

THE CATECHISM:  Confession 

K+           What is Confession?

Confession has two parts.  First, that we confess our sins, and second that we receive absolution, that is, forgiveness, from the pastor as from God Himself, not doubting, but firmly believing that by it our sins are forgiven before God in heaven. 

2nd+       What sins should we confess?

Before God we should plead guilty of all sins, even those we are not aware of, as we do in the Lord’s prayer; but before the pastor we should confess only those sins which we know and feel in our hearts. 

3rd+       Which are these?

Consider your place in life according to the  Ten Commandments:  Are you a father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, or worker?  Have you been disobedient, unfaithful, or lazy?  Have you been hot-tempered, rude, or quarrelsome?  Have you hurt someone by your words or deeds?  Have you stolen, been negligent, wasted anything, or done any harm? 

HYMN OF THE WEEK:  LSB#703 (Stz 1)

How can I thank You, Lord, for all your loving kindness,

That You have a patiently borne with me in my blindness!

When dead in many sins and trespasses I lay,

I kindled, holy God, Your anger ev-‘ry day.

The KIDS Saving Stamp Program:  Students in K-3 can purchase savings stamps during their library time on Tuesday and students in 4-8 can purchase savings stamps during their library time on Thursday.  The KIDS Saving Stamp Program is a unique method of saving money and also furthering the Lord's work.  Students can purchase either 25 cent stamps or $1.00 stamps.  When their Savings Book is filled they will have $25 which is used to open an interest-earning account in the child's name.  Additional savings are added as additional books of stamps are filled.  The money belongs to the savers- whenever they need it.  We thank Mrs. Janice Goebel for her volunteer work overseeing this program.!
