Our Savior's Lutheran Church

A Caring Church for All People

At Peace with Peace

August 6, 2011 by rwentechaney Leave a Comment

Passing the Peace happens in the liturgy before the offering and our gathering around the meal of the Eucharist. It reconciles us in Christ and with each other before we come to dinner at God’s table. Only Christ can give the peace that heals us from our prickly selves and makes us into one body.

The Dance of the Liturgy: Jesus Speaks Among Us

July 2, 2011 by rwentechaney Leave a Comment

The Gospel reading is at the center of our worship as it is Jesus, God’s Word, among us. We rise, we greet his words with singing, we pause to hear his words interpreted by the preacher. We hear God’s word as Law which convicts us, and Gospel which assures us of God’s forgiveness and love.

The Dance of the Liturgy: Radical Welcome

July 2, 2011 by rwentechaney Leave a Comment

Gathering in God’s name is counter-cultural in our world of self-centered independence. We become Christ’s own body when we are together and become community. We are collected in prayer and lift up the theme’s of the day’s lectionary readings.
