November 2-4 - Good Shepherd Institute
Lutheran Liturgy and Hymnody: Theology in Practice with Confidence and Grace

With the successful introduction of Lutheran Service Book into our congregations, pastors, musicians, and the people of God are now seeking ways to do the liturgy well. Christ is present with His gifts whether the liturgy, preaching, and hymn singing is done well or done poorly. Yet our liturgical worship is an invitation by Christ himself to enter into communion with Him -- the Creator and Redeemer of the cosmos. In the presence of the Holy One of God we are to receive these gifts and respond to them with the passionate confidence of saints who know who they are and where they are going, and with the welcoming hospitality of pilgrims summoned home in Christ. This conference will accent how to do Lutheran liturgy and hymnody well, accenting practical ways in which pastors and musicians may assist the people of God to embody the faith in their worship.
