Amos Restore the Roar!
The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 22, with Divine Service at noon and 6:30 pm.
This year's theme is called "Amos: Restore the Roar!" The sermons and some of the elements of our worship services will be adapted from material prepared by Dr. Reed Lessing of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and author of a recent commentary on the book of the prophet Amos (published by Concordia Publishing House). On Sundays, the Adult Bible Class will study the Book of Amos in conjunction with our Wednesday night worship.
Why "Restore the Roar?" Amos 3:8 says, "The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken; who can but prophesy?" The temptation is to put our hands over our ears to drown out Lion Yahweh’s roar. The world, the devil, and our old Adam continue to urge us to clip the claws on the Lion and clean up His bloody Passion we are called to follow. This Lenten sermon series dares to let the Lion out of His cage to roam, roar, redeem, and restore. This Lenten theme will enable us to dig deeply into this minor prophet who has a major message for the church. So plan to come and learn again that the Lion of the Tribe of Judah has triumphed!

Lutheran Service Book
“He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!
Then He said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’”
Revelation 21:5
Each time we participate in worship services, our Father offers us the opportunity to make everything new - through Confession, in remembering our Baptism, when we take the Lord’s Supper, as we greet one another with the Lord’s peace. Doctrinal, liturgical services at Gloria Dei include these elements as part of Divine Service.
We now have something new to help us worship God: Lutheran Service Book! Thanks to the generous gifts of members and friends of Gloria Dei and funds from our memorial fund, we have filled the sanctuary bookracks with LSB and are using it to help us in our worship services and devotions.
God commanded in Revelation 21, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Through the centuries, Christ’s Church has faced many difficulties and experienced many triumphs, as God’s people proclaimed Christ crucified as the way to eternal life. Those inspired by their faith have written down many songs and hymns based on God’s trustworthy and true Word, from David’s ancient psalms to current global contemporary poetry. Collected in LSB, these worshipful psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs help us today to proclaim Christ crucified as we worship our Triune God.
“Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to Your name be the glory,
because of Your love and faithfulness.”
Psalm 115:1
