Advent
Worship
In Lutheran worship we Gather together in the presence of God, to hear how God loves us through God’s Word, we receive God’s love through the Sacraments of Holy Communion and Baptism and are then Sent to share the love God has given us with all the world.
We gather in worship to claim the promise of Jesus:

“Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them”. (Matthew 18:20)
Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! (Psalms 96:1)
Martin Luther wrote hymns and introduced hymn singing as a regular part of Christian worship.

In prayer, we are connected to God. A Christian learns best to pray in the gathering of God’s people. A believer’s prayer is joined by the Holy Spirit with the prayer of all God’s servants of every time and place.

Go in peace, serve the Lord. The Holy Spirit who Gathers the church also Sends God’s people. Our faith deepens as we worship God and we are inspired to go out into the world to share the love of God with our neighbors.
