When it comes to the
Christian Faith, a lot of questions can come up.
Why Jesus? Why should I read the Bible? Why are the Ten
Commandments important? What is the Trinity? What are the sacraments? Why
should I pray? What does it mean to live like a Christian? What is the Church?
Some folks find
Christian teaching difficult. There are many ways of learning about the
Christian faith—some are helpful, some are not so helpful.
Back in 1529, Martin
Luther, the reformer of the Christian Church published a small and large
catechism, which means “book for instruction”. These were intended to teach the
basics about the faith. These documents are still used in churches today for
faith education.
Encounter is a concise course which uses Luther’s catechism as a
guide. Whether you are recent Christian, a life long Christian, curious about
the faith, seeking, or of another faith background, you will enjoy this
non-intrusive exploration into the
basics of the faith.
During March, Dunbar Lutheran Church will be offering a
four part course called “Encounter: An
Introduction to Christianity”. On Wednesdays, March 3, 10, 17, 24,
you are invited to join us for dinner at 6:00pm.The live presentation will
begin at 7:00pm. There is no enrolment fee or charge for materials. Please
contact the church office for further details: 604-266-6818 or email Pastor
