All Saints’ Day for Children

Guest Rev. Jared Melius, pastor of Mount Zion Lutheran Church in Denver, Colorado, speaks about what All Saints’ Day is in our Lutheran tradition and how to talk with children about the saints who have gone before us. What do we as Lutherans mean when we talk about “saints”? Do people become angels when they die, and do their bodies disappear? Rev. Melius address these things and how to talk with children about heaven and eternal life.

Divine Service with the Church Triumphant

Guest Paul Soulek, cantor at St. John’s Lutheran Church and School in Seward, Nebraska, talks about how the divine service connects to the Church Triumphant. Paul explains how the texts of the hymns in the “Church Triumphant” section of the LSB are significant for Lutherans to understand. These texts beautifully illustrate worship on earth and looking forward to eternal life in heaven. Paul also digs into the parts of the liturgy that talk about worshiping with angels and archangels, and how our liturgy is the eternal song of the church.
