Evangelical Lutheran Worship Comes to Mount Olive - December
2006
| In December of 2006, Mount Olive welcomed
the new worship resource of the ELCA, Evangelical Lutheran
Worship (ELW), and retired it's well-worn and worthy Lutheran
Book of Worship (LBW) hymnals.
The delivery truck from Augsburg Fortress arrived to
deliver the boxes containing over 600 of the crisp, cranberry
red books...
|
 |
|
...and they were temporarily stored
in the East assembly room.
|
 |
 |
On the Saturday before New Year's Eve, a crew of
dedicated Mount Olive members gathered in the sanctuary and
began plucking the LBWs from the pew racks. The green books
were piled onto carts... |
 |
...and stacked in the work room.
Several members brought their vacuum cleaners from home to
help clean out any remaining dust in the pews.
|
 |
While the nave was being cleaned and the pews
polished, another crew set up in the East assembly room to
work on setting the bookplates in the new red books. |
|
At last the new books were brought into
the
nave and installed in their pew racks.
|
 |
 |
Their morning labors completed, several people
took some time to leaf through and familiarize themselves with
the new book. |
