Church Rites
 |
Church Rites has been compiled for the LCA by its Commission on Worship. Good rituals grow out of the faith and experience of communities and are not generally original creations by individuals or committees. Accordingly, these rites draw on the rich tradition of the various Christian communions, both Lutheran and non-Lutheran. They are scriptural in content and form. They express the faith of the church in a pastoral, Christ-centred way using inclusive language that is contemporary and easily understood. Purchase here. |
Rites and Resources
 |
Rites and Resources is the companion volume to Church Rites. Useful for ministry to individuals and small groups outside the church building, these rites offer pastors and lay people Christ-centred tools to use to care for people. Included are prayers, rites, Scripture readings, hymns, songs and blessings – as well as guidelines on how to use them. Purchase here. |
