Gathered Guests - 2nd Edition by Timothy H Maschke

God's gathered guests come together because God calls us by His Gospel. We are gathered in His name to receive His Word and Meal. We respond in praise and prayers and works of service. This gathering time provides us with the power for living and believing. The worship service ends, but our service continues throughout the week as we live out our faith in Christ in our daily lives.-from the Introduction

This second edition of Gathered Guests explores the elements that compose the broad category of Lutheran worship, including

  • The historic nature of and current structure of the Divine Service, prayer offices (including Matins and Vespers), and festival and occasional services used in the Lutheran Church.

  • The role of liturgy, rite, and ceremony in the Divine Service.

Special features include

  • Glossary and topical and Scripture indexes.
  • Targeted information for lectors and worship planners.
