Today our organist at Christ the King and I were meeting to plan worship for the next several months. In a few weeks the assigned Epistle lesson for the lectionary series we're using will be from Ephesians 5, "wives, submit yourselves to your husbands . . . husbands, love your wives." As we looked at hymn possibilities to go with this text, I called up a worship resource from the Lutheran Church of Australia that I consult frequently because they have good suggestions and ideas. For some of the Sundays in July and August, though, their lectionary is a week off from ours, so the week we're reading Ephesians 5 they're reading Ephesians 6 ("put on the whole armor of God").
Of course, the good old Lutheran hymn that was suggested first on their list was "Fight the Good Fight with All Thy Might." Think we'll sing that with Ephesians 5, too.
Touche', Pastor.
