  • Explanation of the Lutheran Liturgy Based on LSB Divine Service I
    Explanation of the Lutheran Liturgy Based on LSB Divine Service I Prelude . Lighting of the Candles Greeting . Significance of the Day The Divine Service begins with the Hymn of Invocation (or the Processional Hymn, if there is a Procession), which helps set the tone and mood for the worship service, reminding us early on of God's great love through Jesus our Savior. Already, with the Prelude, the organist is directing our attention to the fact that in worship, "heaven touches earth," just as God's Word declares through the Virgin Mary in Luke 1:68: "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people." Hymn of Invocation: CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION Congregation shall stand The service continues as we invoke the name of the Triune God, put upon us by Jesus' command in our Baptism (Matthew 28:19) - the name in which we gather. St. Paul captures the eternal significance of our Baptism into Christ when he writes: "as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ" (Galatians 3:27). The sign of the cross may be made as a visible reminder of our Baptism. The congregation responds by saying, "Amen," which means "so let it be!” P In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. The Exhortation is an invitation to confession. The inspired words of the Apostle John remind us that God is "faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:8-9).

  • Thurifer Procedures V2
    Thurifer Procedures March 31, 2021 INTRODUCTION “Thurification or incensation is an expression of reverence and of prayer, as is signified in Sacred Scripture” (GIRM, 276). Incense is one of the oldest and richest signs of prayer and worship in our liturgy. We read about frankincense as one of the gifts of the Magi at the nativity of Our Lord. We read of the prayers of the faithful rising as incense in the throne-room of heaven in Revelations. It is a fragrant perfume offered to God. Incense is made from gum olibanum, a precious resin from the boswellia carterii bush in Southern Arabia. To this basic ingredient other spices are added to vary the perfume. The grains of incense, carried in the boat, are scooped into the thurible by the priest where they are burned on charcoal disks to create the incense smoke. Per the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM, 276), incense may be used optionally at any Mass: a) during the Entrance Procession; b) at the beginning of Mass, to incense the cross and the altar; c) at the procession before the Gospel and the proclamation of the Gospel itself; d) after the bread and the chalice have been placed on the altar, to incense the offerings, the cross, and the altar, as well as the Priest and the people; e) at the elevation of the host and the chalice after the Consecration. There is a long liturgical tradition of service at the altar for lay ministers (non- clergy), including lectors, sacristans, and altar servers. Thurifer is one of the more solemn and important roles for altar servers.

  • Part 13 the Alleluia Or Gospel Acclamation
    5 Fr. Daniel’s Corner Mass Moment: Part 13 The Alleluia or Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia, a shout of praise, is closely associated with the Lord’s Resurrection. Singing the alleluia, the gathered assembly welcomes and greets the Lord who is about to speak to them in the Gospel. Speaking of this, the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM #62) notes that the Gospel Acclamation is a rite unto itself. It is a celebration of the arrival of Jesus Christ into our midst by his word proclaimed by the Deacon or Priest. Furthermore, the acclamation is a creedal statement- a statement of faith in Jesus. The Alleluia is sung in every time of year other than Lent. It might interest you to know that Alleluia is a ,which literally means “Praise Yahweh” or “Praise the Lord.” It was preservedהללויה Hebrew word untranslated, by the Early Christians as a superlative expression of thanksgiving, joy, and triumph. It is found often in the psalms and plays a pivotal part in the Jewish celebration of the Passover. The reason for the celebration of the Passover from which Jesus established the Eucharist is intrinsically linked to salvation. This is in itself a gift that comes from God; therefore to “praise the Lord” is right. Of this, Scripture says: After this I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying: “Alleluia! Salvation, glory, and might belong to our God, …The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and wor- shiped God who sat on the throne, saying, “Amen.

  • Alleluia. Come, Holy Spirit, Fill the Hearts of Your Faithful, and Kindle in Us the Fire of Your Love
    DAY OF PENTECOST Alleluia. Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in us the fire of your love. Alleluia. Emmanuel Lutheran Church May 31, 2020 Sunday, May 31, 2020 Day of Pentecost Emmanuel Lutheran Church May 31, 2020 ● 9:30 Service WELCOME TO EMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH INTRODUCTION Pentecost derives its name from the Jewish festival celebrating the harvest and the giving of the law on Mount Sinai fifty days after Passover. Fifty days after Easter, we celebrate the Holy Spirit as God’s presence within and among us. In Acts the Spirit arrives in rushing wind and flame, bringing God’s presence to all people. Paul reminds us that though we each have different capacities, we are unified in the Spirit that equips us with these gifts. Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit on his disciples, empowering them to forgive sin. We celebrate that we too are given the breath of the Holy Spirit and sent out to proclaim God’s redeeming love to all the world. PRELUDE Hymns of the Spirit arr. Hughes MEDITATIVE MOMENT WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS TRINITARIAN CHIMES THANKSGIVING FOR BAPTISM All may make the sign of the cross, the sign marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins.

Water may be poured into the font as the presiding minister gives thanks. 2 We give you thanks, O God, for in the beginning you created us in your image and planted us in a well-watered garden.

  • Affirmations of Faith Suitable for the Seasons of the Church Year
    AFFIRMATIONS OF FAITH SUITABLE FOR THE SEASONS OF THE CHURCH YEAR For Advent and Lent Jesus Christ is Lord (Uniting in Worship People’s Book - page 128) We believe in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess to the glory of God: Jesus Christ is Lord! Amen. (Philippians 2:5-11) For Easter Let us declare our faith in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures; he was buried; he was raised to life on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures; afterwards he appeared to his followers, and to all the apostles: this we have received, and this we believe. Amen. (From I Corinthians 15) (New Patterns for Worship, and throughout Common Worship: http://www.churchofengland.org/prayer- worship/worship/texts/newpatterns/contents/sectione.aspx See also: 1. Christ is Risen (Uniting in Worship People’s Book - page 127) Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us; therefore let us celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
