Nurturing a culture and love of Lutheran heritage in Christian worship
Two new musical arrangements of Divine Service, Setting Five (Luther’s Divine Service) premiered at the 2017 Institute on Liturgy, Preaching, and Church Music held July 25-28 at Concordia University, Chicago, in River Forest, Ill.
Presented by LCMS Worship, the Institute was held under the theme “The Just Live by Faith: Make it Plain in Sermon, Service, Song.”
Luther and others came to believe that the only thing in this world that is fully trustworthy and infallible is the Bible. It is, of course, subject to abuse, misinterpretation, and misapplication by fallen men, but it is clear and simple enough that Christians can understand it. Everyone then should be urged to read it and everyone who does so in faith will be blessed.
The lectionary summary for the Presentation of the Augsburg Confession was prepared by the Rev. Sean Daenzer.
Kids in the Divine Service is a series of bulletin inserts that complement the Lutheran Service Book. The final installment includes general information about 18 topics, including saints, rites, rubrics, stewards, acolytes and catechism.
