This was very helpful.

That was great. Thanks for sharing. I've also been reading Jordan Cooper's book titled Liturgical Worship: A Lutheran Introduction and it's been great, especially for someone new to liturgical services like myself.

If you like that, noted liturgiologist Paul Bradshaw took a much deeper dive into Lutheran liturgics. He is the coauthor or coeditor of such highlights of my liturgical library as Essays on Early Eastern Eucharistic Prayers and many others.

This series is better.

I also read that book, even though I am Catholic. It was wonderful!

Hi, this is a training video for those who tend towards High Church Liturgy (like me )

Service of the Sacrament. This is from the Independent Confessional Lutheran Synod in Germany (SELK), in fellowship with LCMS/LCC.

Its been a good help for me. Also the January 2024 Lutheran Witness has a good write-up. I ordered additional copies for our church; for those who wish to ever order additional Lutheran Witness copies, here is the link.

I have many colleagues who schedule an "Instructed Eucharist" once a year. I hate that and have never had the desire to do it. There are several reasons: 1) it takes more than one week to cover this topic thoroughly 2) you don't know until 4 minutes after the service starts who is going to be there 3) it is generally horrendously boring, if done competently, and most people check out after the first 10 minutes because they don't care.

That's not to say it's not an important subject: it is. Better for a Sunday school or small group format though. Then you are more likely to get the group that is truly interested or at least willing to listen. You can break it up into manageable portions and be thorough. Also, there's more in the service book than the Communion service.
