At Immanuel, we use The Lutheran Service Book. LSB is the official hymnal for our church body, the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. In this service book you will find liturgies for the Divine Service, Baptisms, Marriages, Funerals, Matins/Morning Prayer, Vespers/Evening Prayer, and more.
LSB also provides the “One Year Series” of Readings that we use for the Divine Service
here.
All hymns sung at Immanuel are found in LSB.
When it comes to the Lord’s Supper, Immanuel holds to the doctrine and follows the practice of the LC-MS described here:
“The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at this congregation in the confession and glad confidence that, as He says, our Lord gives into our mouths not only bread and wine but His very body and blood to eat and to drink for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with Him and with one another. Our Lord invites to His table those who trust His words, repent of all sin, and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as He forgives and loves us, that they may show forth His death until He comes.
Because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm and because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this altar, any who are not yet instructed, in doubt, or who hold a confession differing from that of this congregation and The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, and yet desire to receive the sacrament, are asked first to speak with the pastor or an usher.
(Taken from the LCMS publication: Guidelines for Congregation, District, and Synodical Communion Statement. CTCR 2014.)
Finally, visitors are encouraged to arrive early for services. This time may be used to speak with the pastor and, perhaps, an elder. You will be given a bulletin, a brief orientation to the church building, and answers to any questions you may have.
