      Liturgy    
 

In the Episcopal Church, as in Roman Catholic, Lutheran, and Orthodox churches, you will often hear people refer to the service – its words, music and hymns, readings and prayers – as the liturgy. This unusual word, which comes from two Greek words, laos (people) and ergon (work) actually helps us express an important truth. Liturgy, literally “the work of the people” helps us remember that the audience of worship is God and not the congregation.
