Background:

Our worship services form the heart of our congregational life. Although services in more free forms are conducted occasionally, (such as youth- or family services) the order of service follows a well structured Liturgy which forms an important and valuable part of the Lutheran Worship Service. The Liturgy is the responsive prayer of the assembled congregation, and the most important parts of it are taken directly from the Bible. The Liturgy can thus be seen as the prayed Word of God. For more information on the Liturgy, its historical origin and significance, click here.

Music:

In addition to the liturgy, the music forms an important part of any service. In 1994 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Germany brought out a new hymnbook. In addition to such wellknown and well loved hymns as Ein Feste Burg is unser Gott, the hymnbook also contains newer songs such as the one you heard upon entering the site. (Laudate si EG 515) In the Afrikaans services the hymnbook Laudate is used, while English speakers use The Australian Lutheran hymnal. In addition, our services are often enriched by the performance of musicicans before and after the service. Anyone who would like to join the music group, see the Activites link for more information.
