The Service for the Lord's Day
- The Service for the Lord's Day
The Service for the Lord's Day is the name given to the general format or ordering of worship in the Presbyterian Church (USA). There is a great deal of liberty given toward worship in that denomination, so while the Service for the Lord's Day is extremely common, it is not universally used.
The creation of the Service for the Lord's Day was one of the most positive contributions of the Worshipbook of 1970. The Book of Common Worship of 1993 leaned heavily upon this service.
