LUTHERAN SERVICE BOOK

To date 184 copies have been purchased through the Memorial Fund and an additional generous offering by our Ladies Aid has been used to obtain additional copies or companion features of LSB. In August of 2007 these gifts purchased the lectionaries for series A and B which will cover readings from December 2007- November 2009. Actually now all the lectionaries needed for the three year cycle of pericopes are in our hands at church.
All extra copies bought for resale at the church for memorial gifts and personal use have been sold. Future purchases of LSB should be handled through the church office where Linda will order from Concordia Publishing House.

LUTHERAN SERVICE BOOK'S FEATURES

Some advantages over the LW hymnal are:
More compact and lighter weight but about a hundred more hymns.
Hymns from other Christian traditions and cultures join with the traditional Lutheran texts and tunes.
The hymnal contains reading schedules, catechism, and devotional materials.
Spanish and German texts accompany several hymns.
Traditional wording replaces modernized texts that never caught on.
New hymns are more joyful and singable.
Liturgies include the ones we know and don’t have to learn from scratch.
Hymn numbers and liturgy page numbers will no longer be confused.
