Sundays in Lent
8:45 a.m. & 11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary and online
This Lenten season St. Michael's will worship using a new ELCA liturgy entitled “Sighs Too Deep for Words” that has been written and developed over the course of the last three years. It is our hope and prayer that you will find this to be a rich experience of worship--within the traditional Lutheran framework, but with texts, stories, and words that give life to faith and experiences today.
In response to the ELCA's social statement “Faith, Sexism, and Justice” and the real challenges that come with holding together gender justice with Christian traditions, Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in south Minneapolis, St. Michael's, University Lutheran Church of Hope, Grace University Lutheran Church, and Edina Community Lutheran Church united to commission Emily Casey and Tamika Jancewicz to write and for Anne Krentz Organ to compose music for an expansive language liturgy entitled “Sighs Too Deep for Words.” This resource honors the 50th Anniversary of Women in the ELCA's predecessor bodies, the 40th Anniversary of Women of Color, and the 10th Anniversary of partnered LGBTQIA clergy; it draws on womanist, feminist, and queer theologians’ reflections on the body, and it gives special attention to women’s experiences in scripture and in everyday life. The liturgy was also given shape after the murder of George Floyd, and the need to lament and to breath new life into community. More broadly, this liturgy reflects the radical hospitality of Christ. This liturgy honors that we pray and sing without knowing exactly what to say, for it is when “we do not know how to pray as we ought” that the “Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.”
Join in singing parts of this new liturgy this season, and also in providing feedback that will allow us to refine this work.
