Our subdistrict does a Fifth Sunday evening service whenever there's such a Sunday in a month. One of my churches is hosting the July service and we are doing an (almost) entirely musical setting for communion. The only spoken parts will be the welcome, the scriptures, and the homily. I'm outlining the service (below) and would love to hear some feedback. Bear in mind, we are simple country folks with good theology, various musical talents, and a spirit of joy for worship!
PRELUDE
ENTRANCE: "Joyful, Joyful, We adore Thee" [Ancient/Modern version]
welcome
BRINGING IN THE LIGHT OF CHRIST: Phos Hilaron and Joyous Light
APOSTOLIC GREETING: from the Lutheran Book of Worship
WORSHIP HYMNS: Come, Now Is The Time To Worship, He Is Exalted, Here I Am to Worship, and I Love You, Lord
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE: FWS 2201
SPECIAL CHOIR ANTHEM: to be determined
SCRIPTURE
HOMILY
CONFESSION AND PARDON: Breathe, We Bow Down
GLORIA PATRI
OFFERING/OFFERTORY: to be determined
DOXOLOGY: FWS 2008
THE GREAT THANKSGIVING: FWS 2268, 2256, 2257c, 2278
Distribution of the elements: two at a time will come receive the elements by intinction, then in turn serve the next two, etc.
COMMUNION MUSIC: to be determined by the choir leader (with good sensibilities for this)
HYMN(S):
BENEDICTION
RESPONSE TO BENEDICTION: FWS 2072 "Amen, Amen"

Love to hear suggestions, feedback, etc. In the spirit of grace and joy and love . . .

    ok, i'll bite: how is this service different from usual? is it the extra singing?

    and, i'm glad that you are excited about it.

    thanks for sharing anyway, it sounds interesting! I would include in it response in our lives to taking the elements. Maybe singing/playing the Casting Crowns song "If we are the body"
