Team members at church prior to worship
Rev Bert Hitzgrad from Cadenberge, German
Sunday Worship in Sloka
Today we worshiped with fellow believers at the Sloka Lutheran Church, it was a very international service. Latvian was the predominant language used by Pastor Gusevs, but today's service had a guest minister Rev Bert Hitzgrad from Cadenberge, German preaching the sermon and assisting with the Sacrament of the Table.
One of the unique aspects of the service in Latvia is the custom of coming forward and kneeling at the alter rail and receiving individual absolution by the pastor.
