Pastoral Meanderings: Warning: This may make you bleed from your eyes and ears. . .

Warning: This may make you bleed from your eyes and ears. . .

Please be careful and do not show small children or they will certainly fear the liturgy.... Thankfully the music chosen is not sacred but as secular as the show itself...

BTW I can assure you this will not be included in the worship services of the Convention of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.... though it might possibly be found in the occasional errant congregation. . .

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...
