  • 3-Step Plan Article #9 Conduct of the Service by ACP" (45 Pages)
    File Name: "3-Step Plan Article #9 Conduct of the Service by ACP" (45 pages) THE CONDUCT OF THE SERVICE According to the Rubrics of The Lutheran Hymnal, The Lutheran Liturgy, The Lutheran Lectionary, and The Music for the Liturgy1 By Arthur Carl Piepkorn (1907-1973☩) Concordia Seminary Print Shop, 1965. 44 pages. Edited by Philip James Secker. Revised 3/17/19. 40 pages. Editor's Note: Arthur Carl Piepkorn's classic monograph The Conduct of the Service is primarily about the rubrics of the Service, but contains a great deal of information about what is in Piepkorn's 1962 classic monograph The Architectural Requirements of the Lutheran Cultus (which is in 3-Step Plan Article #7 The Full 3-step Plan). "Cultus" is a Latin loan word that refers to adiaphora, that is, things that are neither commanded nor forbidden by God such as architecture, altars, banners, baptismal fonts, candles, holy communion vessels and rails, hymnals, musical instruments, offering plates, pews, unleavened holy communion wafers, vestments, etc. So both monographs should be used together. The following book is now available as a computer searchable CD that can be searched for additional information on what is in those two monographs: The Sacred Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions, edited and introduced by Philip J. Secker, Foreword by Robert Kolb, Volume 2 in The Selected Writings of Arthur Carl Piepkorn, CEC Press, 2007, 313 pages. This edition of The Conduct of the Service is Copyright©2018 Philip James Secker but may be reproduced as long as it is reproduced in its entirety.

    ! GOOD SHEPHERD LUTHERAN CHURCH June 28, 2020 - Time after Pentecost “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me.” [Matthew 10:40] ! WELCOME We’re glad you chose to worship with us this morning. 9:30 A.M. Evangelical Lutheran Worship The welcome of baptism is for all God’s children. This baptismal gift sets us free from the power of sin and death. In today’s gospel, Christ promises that the disciple who gives a cup of cold water to the little ones serves Christ himself. From worship we are sent to our baptismal mission: to serve the little ones of this world and to be a sign of God’s merciful welcome. PRELUDE O God, Beyond All Praising arr. Jeffrey Blersch BELL Stand as you are able God be with you. And also with you. Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! GATHERING PRAYER (inspired by Genesis 22: 1-14; Micah 6:8; Deuteronomy 6:5) What does the Lord require of you? To do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with our God. What does God command of us? To love God with all our heart, and all our soul, and all our mind, and all our strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. God does not call us to ease or to comfort. But to presence, and abundance, and grace in our struggle. Let us worship the God who believes in us, and trusts in us, and abides with us. Let us worship the God who will ask much of us, but will be beside us every step of the way.

  • Why and How Do We Use Ashes on Ash Wednesday?
    Worship Resources: Frequently Asked Questions Why and how do we use ashes on Ash Wednesday? The worship staff receives a number of similar inquires on worship-related topics from across the church. These responses should not be considered the final word on the topic, but useful guides that are to be considered in respect to local context with pastoral sensitivity. The response herein may be reproduced for congregational use as long as the web address is cited on each copy. Background: Why? Ash Wednesday is the Wednesday of the seventh week before Easter and the first day of Lent. The day is named for the practice of imposing ashes, a practice that many Lutheran congregations have found to be a very meaningful part of the Ash Wednesday liturgy. Using ashes as a sign of repentance is an ancient practice, often mentioned in the Bible (e.g., Jonah 3:5-9; Job 42:6; Jeremiah 6:26; Matthew 11:21). The early Christians adopted the use of ashes from Jewish practice as an external mark of penitence. Ashes symbolize several aspects of our human existence: . Ashes remind us of God's condemnation of sin, as God said to Adam, "Dust you are and to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19). Ashes suggest cleansing and renewal. They were used anciently in the absence of soap. Even on Ash Wednesday, this most penitential day, we receive ashes in the form of the cross, the same symbol placed on our bodies with water in our baptism. Even in this ashen mark of death, we anticipate the new life of Easter.

But Jesus challenged them with His Word and with the prophetic voice of John the Baptist. Why did they not listen, and why did they not repent? Why do we not listen and repent?
