Does your church have a sanctuary lamp or eternal flame?

Our parish church has a red lamp for the tabernacle to signify the present of Christ. It is not eternal however. Long lasting perhaps

Yep we have one.

Really? I would of thought all Lutheran churches had them.

I don't know that it would be called that, but there is always a flame on the altar. There are also lamps in front of the iconostasis, and usually candles that people have placed near the front as well.

What she said, we have one open flame on the altar and then a light hanging from the ceiling above the altar.

I thought all Lutheran churches did as well. When I was choir director at my former church and would go there to practice on my own the eternal light was a true comfort to me and a reminder that I wasn't really alone.
