Gottesdienst is happy to announce another of our regional conferences.
Christ Lutheran Church in Platte Woods, MO (20 minutes north of downtown
Kansas City) is hosting
Gottesdienst KC: Celebrating the Easter Vigil in Parishes Large and Small.
The Easter Vigil is the center of the liturgical year, a most beautiful and
elaborate celebration of the mysteries of the Faith. Up from relative
oblivion in decades past, the Easter Vigil continues to gain greater
currency in North American Lutheranism. Yet many pastors, especially of
smaller parishes, have been reluctant to begin such an elaborate service
because of questions such as: Can I conduct it all by myself? What if I
can't sing everything? Fire and incense and candles, Oh My! All such topics
will be addressed, all the ceremonies explained, and concrete ideas for
celebrating the Vigil in both small and large parishes will be explored.
Participants are encouraged to bring their LSB Altar Books and their copies
of Daily Divine Service Book, which contains a fuller explanation of all the
ceremonies than is contained in LSB. All participants will receive DDSB:
Easter Vigil as part of their registration fee (see below).
With Gottesdienst you always get at least double the bang for your buck - so
besides this very practical look at the Easter Vigil in the afternoon
session, Rev. Dr. Burnell F. Eckardt will deliver a theological paper on
some controversial topic or another after Divine Service. We are also hoping
that Fr. Shaw's schedule will allow him to come over from Leavenworth to
serve as preacher.
