Living the Liturgy: The Hows, Whys, and Wherefores of Lutheran Worship
September 20 – October 11, 2026 11:00 am

Kim Taylor-Blakemore
Fellowship Hall

Why do we stand, sit, sing, confess, and share the peace? Why does our worship follow this particular rhythm each Sunday?

In this four-week series, we’ll explore the heart of Lutheran liturgical worship — not just what we do, but why we do it. Together we’ll trace the biblical and historical roots of Christian worship, unpack the shape of the liturgy (Gathering, Word, Meal, and Sending), and see how Word and Sacrament form us week after week into a people sent for the sake of the world.

Come deepen your understanding, grow in confidence, and discover how the liturgy shapes us — and how we, in turn, help it live and breathe among us.

Liturgy is literally the “work of the people”.  At St. Andrew, ALL people may take an active role in worship by serving as ushers, assisting ministers, lectors, and communion assistants.  Please join this ever-growing group of lay leaders who make our worship services meaningful for everyone. 

If you are new to this ministry, come and learn what and how to do things within your role.  If you are an experienced leader, please come and learn how things have changed and offer your Pro Tips to those who are diving in for the first time.
