Luther's Small CATECHISM - TABLE of DUTIES

The Catechism concludes with the Table of Duties--a listing of Bible passages addressing the very down-to-earth and yet high and holy callings of Christians in their daily lives. It is modeled after the listing of household responsibilities in Col. 3: 8-4:1 and Eph. 5: 22-6: 9. It is Luther's way of applying the catechism to daily life. The list of Bible passages can be arranged under three general headings:

(1) life in the congregation:   In the congregation, Christians are gathered by God's Word.  Preachers of the Word are charged with caring for God's Church with integrity and faithfulness (1 Tim 3: 2-4). Hearers  of the Word have the responsibility to honor their pastors as theses men faithfully carry out their work in the Lord's name as servants of His Word  (1 Thess. 5: 12-13). Hearers are commanded to provide financial support for their pastors.                                                                                                        

 (2) life in the civic community; and                                                                                                                                                                 (3) life in the household.                                                                                                                                                                       

Luther says these passages of Scripture are "for various holy orders and positions, admonishing them about their duties and responsibilities." 


✛SERVICE✛ 

EMMANUEL DINING ROOM

Trusted Servants,

In the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians, using God’s inspired words, he emphasizes the call to actively consider the well-being of others and to show genuine care for their needs. Paul writes in Philippians 2:4, “Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others too.” On Friday, June 27th, Concordia had the opportunity and privilege to show your genuine care for the hungry of Wilmington.  Your casseroles and brownies provided a meal for 190 men, women, and children. Thanks to all the cooks and bakers and to Trudy Fletcher and Don Kummer for helping to serve.

George and Dale

Our location is the warehouse next to the Dansko outlet: 8 Federal Rd, West Grove, PA, 19390. Read all about OGT on the bulletin board by the library, or visit our webpage for hours of operation, the latest updates, and to review the full list of materials our recipients need most. Donated items may be placed in the closet in All Saints' Hall (to the right as you enter the room). Hard to imagine how exciting it is for those who receive our 'throw aways / I don't need this anymore' possessions – we are so blessed! If you have questions please contact Tom Fuesler or Carla Niesen.
