This Week...

...tomorrow I'll lead the first of our Wednesday chapels devoted to the Catechism. Unlike the last two times round, there's no particular time frame to complete, so I intend to take it slowly and savor each little bit. So Prayer and Preaching at 10 tomorrow at the IC will just lift up the gem of the first commandment. It's inexhaustible!

THEN Thursday through Saturday LCMS campus workers and young people will gather at Saint Louis University for Unwrapped. We'll have daily Morning Praise (Lauds) and Evening Prayer in the stunning St. Xavier Church, with bidding prayer (Time of Prayer for Others) built in on Thursday and Friday. I'm especially honored to be serving with assistant chaplain, Pr. David Kind (I'd give my eye teeth to be able to chant as beautifully as he does!).  The conference, titled Unwrapped, will feature a plenaries by Dr. Craig Parton, and lots of sectionals. The theme for our worship will draw upon 1 John and we'll be rejoicing in the ways we confess (in word and deed) Him who became incarnate for us of the pure Virgin.

That was an oops. DR. Craig Parton.

and Xavier and Loyola are catholic names that just shouldn't be used in polite company. Make up a fake name like Holy Spirit Chapel to avoid names that raise a stench in the nostril. You can always apologize for getting the name wrong, but don't change it. What are they going to do, call your church Loyola Chapel? I was at the teen mass at the local Saint MM. There is no reason to put up the their dross anymore. Tell President Harrison that they had the ORDO but their dance with the devil is far, far, along. Oh but you read my Facebook comments so you know about already. Any way ixN on the Oyolay and the AviorXay. The memory of these persons is noxious. It can do not good.
