Hymnal

You may have noticed there are new hymnals (Called “Lutheran Service Book”) in the pews at church. Here’s some fun things to know about them:

  • They were given by the congregation to the glory of God in thanksgiving for the 35 year service of Ruth Kovach as choir director and organist
  • There are fewer of them–we may get more, in the future
  • There are prayers inside the front cover for your use in worship:
    • On entering a church
    • Before worship
    • After worship
    • Before confession and absolution
    • Before communing
    • Thanksgiving after receiving the sacrament

    I love assisting with Holy Communion, but I also enjoy it when I don’t and I get more of a chance to pray in the pew when I get back to my seat. Before I commune I say “I’m sorry” to God. When I get back, I say “Thank You” to God for His forgiveness.

Hey- if you’re interested in one of the old hymnals for use at home, let me know. You can have one!
