Curtis could do it on Thursdays and Fridays (or whatever way yer divvying it up this year).<BR/><BR/>Since you already do public school catechesis on Sundays, you could do the afternoon/evening service for the public school kids only make it a more extended version.<BR/><BR/>You could use the Bender binder for the propers, etc. and to make sure that you cover all necessary catechetical matters in your preachment.<BR/><BR/>I wish you'd come up with this idea a year ago. ;-)Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487646830381863898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1156511221871562122006-08-25T08:07:00.000-05:002006-08-25T08:07:00.000-05:00This sounds like a most excellent thing to be doin...This sounds like a most excellent thing to be doing. Perhaps this could be tried during a Bible class time. It is still definitely a teaching tool and something that all Christians would benefit from. I also think that Worship would bring the truths learned through catechesis into a sharper focus.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661740660861806728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1156482416523476592006-08-25T00:06:00.000-05:002006-08-25T00:06:00.000-05:00Would you suggest this be incorporated as the stru...Would you suggest this be incorporated as the structure for confirmation class/catechesis? Of course this would be a drastic change from our familiar catechetical experience. I could see this working very well as such:<BR/><BR/>The SoP&P is used as the primary corporate catechetical instruction.<BR/><BR/>If confirmation were to be retained and done in group fashion, catechumens would be required to attend along with their parent or sponsor if their parents neglected their duties.<BR/><BR/>The family, hopefully the father, would be responsible in making sure his child knew and understands the SC.<BR/><BR/>This would then be reinforced through the SoP&P.mlorfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03138561905418684851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-1156465802807340912006-08-24T19:30:00.000-05:002006-08-24T19:30:00.000-05:00I had a great opportunity to do this on my vicarag...I had a great opportunity to do this on my vicarage when my supervisor approved my proposal to focus the lenten midweek services on the six chief parts of the Small Catechism. It was great! I had so many people comment that it was helpful to them, especially adult converts who had been denied the privilege of going through the Small Catechism. The more catechism the better!Rev.
