The Liturgy and the Church Year!
Here at Grace, just as with most other Lutheran parishes, we use a style of Liturgy, which changes with the Church Calendar. As a worshiper you'll note that settings, themes, and moods change as the church year progresses.
Now is the season of Penecost - the longest season of the church year. In Penecost the risen Christ, who promises to return one day and establish His kingdom on earth, must leave His sheep for a time. But like any good shepherd, He promises not to let His sheep go astray. To this end, He sent the Holy Spirit to give life to the "Body", the church. Sundays following Penecost are green for growth of the church.
Take note as the church year progresses (Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, and Pentecost). Note how both the colors and the mood change. Note how these changes affect the style of worship.
Peace, Pastor Howell
Coming soon...
