Worship Matters: An Introduction to Worship Participant Book

This 5-session introductory course has been developed to help participants grow into a richer understanding of the foundations of Lutheran worship. With a focus on the principal gathering around word and sacrament, this course explores the foundational questions about why we gather, how we encounter God in worship, and how that encounter shapes our response in both our communities and our world. Topics include the Church Year, the Lectionary, Holy Baptism, Holy Communion, Corporate Prayer, Worship and Culture, and more.
 
The participant book provides all the content a participant needs for each session, and serves as an excellent reference after the course is complete.  Approachable and accessible, Worship Matters: An Introduction to Worship will stimulate meaningful discussion about worship practices.  An excellent resource for new member classes, adult forums, or seasonal and Lenten studies, this course promises to deepen the worship life of each participant. The leader guide is also available.
