Lutheran Service Bookat Ten Years

Rejoice, Give Thanks and SingDo you still occasionally catch yourself referring to Lutheran Service Book as the “new”hymnal? It's hard to believe that we've already reached the tenth year of its use in our Synod.And if your congregation still uses The Lutheran Hymnal, were you aware that it first came offthe press 75 years ago?! This year of anniversaries seems a perfect time to take stock of wherewe've been and where we're going when it comes to our church’s hymnals.

This year's conference will provide not only historical perspective but also practical ideas formaking a fuller use of the treasures that our hymnal contains. Coupled with the robust singingthat is the hallmark of Kramer Chapel, we will kick off the upcoming 500th anniversary of theReformation with Bach Cantata 80, “A Mighty Fortress.”

No matter the extent to which you've used LSB the past decade, the Good Shepherd Instituteconference will provide opportunities for you to learn, evaluate, rejoice, give thanks and sing.

8:45 a.m. Before Lutheran Service Book: The Good, the Bad and the UglyJon ViekerThe Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod has had only five hymnals in its nearly 170-yearhistory. Each hymnal has its unique character—reflecting both the hymnic tradition onwhich it was built as well as incorporating the best its day had to offer. This presentationwill explore the tension between the “old” and the “new” in each hymnal prior toLutheran Service Book, with an eye toward the forces that shaped each project in its timeas well as what it contributed in the long run toward LSB.

10:00 a.m. Chapel

11:00 a.m. A Ten Year Checkup: How Long Have I Got to Live?Paul GrimeThough satisfaction with LSB has been quite high, the itch for a new hymnal willinevitably come. Before that happens, however, we may want to ask whether we'remaking the fullest possible use of the book we already have. While a hymnal has moreresources than even the most adventurous congregation can use, there are many waysthat a congregation can extend the life of its hymnal, so to speak, through carefulworship planning.

12:00 p.m. Lunch

10:00 a.m. Chapel
