So this parish is closed? How sad.

Interesting...the Lord's prayer is at the right place..I am not sure about the Eucharistic prayer though, did I hear the epiclesis? I heard no doxology in the end..also I miss the bells ringing at the consecration and the genufleciton or bowing of the pastor. Nice to see anyway.

@karpov89 Ditto on all that... the EP is from Evangelical Lutheran Worship. The prayers in the ELW tend to range from no epiclesis to a "weak" epiclesis. It is worth noting that this parish was in an extremely low-church synod (diocese). They can be forgiven for a few idiosyncrasies given that they are much better than most.

@beswanky It must be ECLA as the pastor is a woman. Well for me it seems strange that a very low church synod use incense and then the eucharistic prayer is very low church, for example I did not hear a clear sacrifical motif in the prayer.
