...about the LCMS parish (I've attended twice).
Altar rails.
Kneeling to take communion (I haven't yet).
Pastor faces the altar and not the people.
Absolution! (never thought I'd enjoy that but wow).
The liturgy in general.
The Pastor's preaching is direct and short. After years of listening to Baptists and Reformed Pastors preach long winded messages I find the 20 minutes or less refreshing.
The people are nice but standoffish. I can tell they do not get many visitors.
I'm going back next Lord's Day.
Yours in the Lord,
