I'm presiding over my Great Uncle Don's funeral tomorrow. Some day I should write reflections on functioning as the family pastor, but for tonight, just venting a little frustration at AF.
In the parish we just put everything in the bulletin, so I usually led from that and used my hymnal only for hymns, if there were any. The family decided not to run a bulletin for this service, which is fine, I can just as easily lead from the service in the hymnal.
Except that Evangelical Lutheran Worship does not have the prayers of intercession printed in the funeral service.
Seriously AF? You had room in this hymnal for 8 different settings of the liturgy and 800-some hymns, but you didn't have one side of one page to give to intercessory prayers for a funeral?
Epic fail.
Consequently, I'll be leading the service out of my old Lutheran Book of Worship.
And with that, it's time for bed. G'night.
