We have prepared the Liturgical Calendar for Sundays in 2025 and it is available for viewing and free download right here on our website. It will also be available as a page of our Christmas issue, which is coming out soon. It provides the list of historic readings for every Sunday, and notes for the week, all consolidated on one page for ease of access.

In this Woman our Lord demonstrated in actual fact
that all the unclean who touch Him are made clean in Him.
The whole of creation was depicted in that sick Woman,
for the flux of wrongdoing, with its inanity, renders it unclean.
“There is really only one basic rule of altar decorum: ‘Be reverent!’ Every other rule is simply a practical amplification of this basic charge.” I am inclined to say that the “Notes on Reverence” at the beginning of The Conduct of the Service are probably more important than all that follows, because the reverence and spiritual preparation that Dr. Piepkorn insists on are the indispensable foundation of truly recollected worship. All of the ceremonial directions are intended to help make possible that recollected worship.

Job Details
This role is ideal for a high-caliber leader who serves as the “face of the place.” This person is primarily responsible for all ministry teams, programs, and volunteers at the campus. This includes the role of building teams, identifying leaders, managing for quality, solving problems, championing the purpose and values of King of Kings, and ultimately leading people into a transformed life through Jesus Christ.

Well, here is a point on which both Hermann Sasse and the present Bishop of Rome are in agreement!

It might be surprising that the name Martin Luther is found in the Roman Catholic We Celebrate hymnal. His anthemic hymn of the Reformation, A Mighty Fortress, appears under the byline of Dr. Luther.

Note: Since Reformation Day falls on Thursday, here is a reflection, originally published by Fr. Braaten in 2012, which was re-posted as the 500th anniversary of the Reformation was approaching in October 2017. As a bonus, Fr. Braaten followed up with a Part Two that was published on the 500th anniversary of the posting of the 95 Theses. ~ Ed.

I watched the consecration of an LCMS megachurch online. This is not one of the better known exemplars of that genre, but it is a congregation with multiple campuses and multiple "contemporary” services, as well as one “traditional” (so-called) service.
