The service will also be streamed on Facebook Live from https://www.facebook.com/firstlutheransmtx/
We will go live a few minutes before 10:30.
This page will have worship items for each service. The instructions for accessing worship were getting cumbersome for here, so they have been moved to their own page. Only the two basic links are still here. For full instruction go to https://flcsm.org/worshipaccess/

September 17, 2023: forgiveness – the heart of the matter
This week we introduce a new liturgy. This is primarily drawn from the Deutsche Messe (German Mass) by Franz Schubert. The Holy Holy Holy in the communion liturgy we have used before, but have added other elements from this 1820’s liturgy. We also are using two liturgical arrangements from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship hymnal, one a familiar tune by Beethoven and a Gospel Acclamation that fits well with the musical style of the Schubert liturgy.
