For those who are LCMS or have even recently visited one, what are your services like? I’m wondering if anyone else has services like ours? Ours is, I guess, you’d describe as being similar to a ND service. It begins with music (contemporary Christian, sometime hymns with a rock/pop sound) from a praise band, Then if its a Sunday when we receive Communion, our pastor says the Words of Institution then we partake.
A little more music, and then we have the message, which is part of a series.
We have a couple of big screens on the wall that show the words to various prayers and song lyrics so that when we recite the prayers or sing those who are unfamiliar can follow along. (I don’t know the name of the prayers, except the Our Father).
Our pastors no longer wear their collars or vestments (is that what they’re called?) They wear nice pants or nice jeans and a nice shirt. We end with another song, blessing then we’re done. Services are about one hour.
