Our first cohort of learners enrolled in the CBTE Minor are working through their online orientation to prepare for their first term of classes. The first two classes — BHL I and Christian Doctrine I — begin on Sunday, September 1. The learners in the first cohort represent six states and over a dozen WELS congregations.
Dearest Lord God,
Give us your grace so that we rightly understand your Word,
and more than that, that we also do what it says.
O dearest Lord Jesus Christ, if our study is not to your glory alone,
then do not let us understand even the smallest letter.
Give us only as much understanding as a poor sinner needs for your glory.Amen.
