The service of Lutheran worship is a liturgy, a step-by-step sequence for corporate worship. Our liturgical service works with words and actions that honor God. As the word of God is proclaimed and the sacraments are enacted among us, the Spirit touches our lives.
We follow the liturgy found in the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW). Liturgy is not just LBW something found in a book, but something that is within you. It is an event in which you can encounter God and his people as you listen, pray, praise, and share in the sacraments.
At the heart of our liturgy is God, who graciously works among us through the Gospel which centers in Jesus Christ. Christian worship always points to God acting and working on our behalf. As Lutherans, we emphasize the proclamation of the Word of God and the sharing of the holy meal we call the Eucharist, Holy Communion, or the LORD'S Supper.
Whenever we gather to hear the Word and to receive the Sacraments, Jesus is there in our midst.
Our worship glories not in what we offer to God, but in what God gives to us. The entire liturgy and particularly the sermon, seeks to give a clear, focused vision of the significance of Jesus Christ for our lives today. We are reflections of God's work for us and in us, and we respond with thanksgiving and commitment.
