A Liturgy for the Home
The following service order is intended for use in the home at a time when our congregation cannot gather. It may be lead by a family member, or if you live alone, you may use it by yourself, in which case, simply say all parts. Of course this is not intended to be a substitute for the Divine Service of the gathered church, but as a provision for household devotion and prayer. You may also use the service orders of Matins, Morning Prayer, Vespers, Evening Prayer, or Compline depending on the time of day. For a simple service order, see Daily Prayer (LSB p. 294ff) .
Leader: O Lord, open my lips.
Response: And my mouth will declare your praise.
L: Make haste, O God, to deliver me.
R: Make haste to help me, O Lord.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen.

The Covid-19 Chronicles: Reflections in a Pandemic, Part 10
Those of us who grew up reciting Luther's Small Catechism for our suppers will recall the Table of Duties, the last of the small catechism's eight parts, and the most difficult to learn by heart. In the typical congregation's catechism curriculum, there wasn't much time left at the end of the season for the Table of Duties, so it didn't always get the attention it deserves.
