Worship

Divine Service
The weekly Divine Service is the center of the church's activities, and so it also stands at the center of our Lutheran Student Fellowship activities at Luther Memorial Chapel. Here is where our Risen and Ascended Lord Jesus Christ comes to us to give us forgiveness, life, and salvation through the Proclamation of the Gospel and the celebration of the Lord's Supper.

Daily Office
Flowing from the Divine Service, the church prays for the needs of the parish, community, and the world. From Old Testament times, God's people met daily in the temple to pray at set times. In the church, a series of daily offices developed. The focus of these prayer services includes the Psalms, Canticles, readings, and a hymn. Martin Luther commended the continued use of morning and evening prayer in the church. Morning prayer is known as Matins. Evening prayer is known as Vespers.

At Luther Memorial Chapel,
we celebrate the Divine Service every Sunday at 9 AM and Monday at 7 PM. We also pray Matins each Tuesday at 9 AM.
