What We Learned in Sunday School Today… Today in Sunday School, the lesson recalls the wonderful account of Moses and the burning bush (Exodus 2:11–4:31). Just as God had Moses remove the sandals from his feet, God in Christ removes our sins from us, making us fit to approach God and stand in His presence. Talk with your child about who makes us holy before God. Ask him or her to tell you the story about Moses and the burning bush. What did Moses have to do, and why, in order to be in God’s presence? Review the Third Commandment and its meaning from the catechism.
The annual Reformation Celebration hosted by Lutheran Campus Ministries is at St. Luke Lutheran Church, 900 Maryvale at Union, Cheektowaga, 4 p.m. on October 28th.
