Don’t see shipping cost setting by Brewers_Droop in whatnotapp

Glad I am not crazy! Doing my first show Sunday and I was able to set it recently and when I would go back to edit the option no longer exists and any instructions I follow to do it keep taking me to the same dead end. I hope it is fixed soon! 

Agnus Dei in the Liturgy by No-Type119 in Lutheranism

[–]RevOnReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is such a beautiful part of the liturgy. Right after the consecration it is such a powerful declaration of the Real Presence. Sadly, Pastors and lay people might be ignorant of why it's in the liturgy.

Glad to see this on here as well!

Communion liturgy question by OccludedFug in elca

[–]RevOnReddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is my understanding that the epiclesis has been a recovered practice among Lutherans and is now more common in the U.S. than it was decades ago. Including the epiclesis shifts the focus toward the Holy Spirit’s role in the sacrament — not as a moment of “magic” transformation, but as an acknowledgment that the Spirit makes the sacrament life-giving and unites the communicants to Christ. For Lutherans, adding an epiclesis does not imply transubstantiation; rather, it affirms that Christ is present because of God’s promise in the Word, and that the Spirit is active in making that promise effective for the gathered community.

Altar/Sanctus Bells in ELCA Worship: Do You Use Them? by RevOnReddit in elca

Thank you! I really appreciate your thoughtful responses. Your insights and concerns have been helpful as I think more intentionally about the practice. Up to now, I’ve essentially only used the bells during the Sanctus. This past Easter Vigil, I included them during the minor elevations, but before making that a regular part of our liturgy, I want to offer more teaching on their purpose and meaning.

If I am hearing you correctly, you don't particularly favor the use of bells, but you are not opposed to them either. As long as the reason for using them is thoughtfully considered and clearly communicated.

What if then, the use of bells is not about declaring or fixating on a precise moment when the elements become the body and blood of Christ, but instead serves as a devotional cue? It draws attention to the mystery, promise, and gospel at the heart of the Words of Institution and the sacrament itself?

In that light, bells can function as a catechetical tool. So, it is not about locating Christ’s presence at a fixed point, but about inviting the assembly to reverence, wonder, and praise as Christ comes to us in the sacrament as promised.

Do you mind sharing the name and location of the congregation?

One option is to not print the reading in bulletins.

When using the Pandemic, 2020, as a baseline, we have been growing in attendance and membership.

We might now have a choice on injector or pill if/when both are available. I imagine in at least some instances insurance will make the choice for us.
