From perusing the LCMS website, I discovered we are to be getting a new hymnal by 2006. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that as I already dislike the current hymnal supplement from 1998.
I feel like we're "dumbing down" our services more and more. Pretty soon the Lord's Prayer will be:
Yo, Big Guy, upstairs
You're pretty cool, dude
In the hizzle for shizzle
Dude, Just tell us what you want us to do
Down here and up there
And, Yo, how about some food?
We're really sorry for all the bad stuff we do, okay?
And other people are really sorry for what they do to us
Yo, help us stay out of trouble, mmkay
Because, seriously, YOU ROCK!!!
Yeah!
