Lutheran Lenten Services and my Favorite Piano
My favorite piano sits in front of my home church, Trinity Lutheran Church in Murdock Nebraska. It is my favorite church season of the year, Lent.
It’s a time of reflection when I play the piano every Wednesday night during Lent. Lorie Line is my favorite pianist and her amazing piano hymn arrangements just perfect for this Holy season before East.
I have played the piano for the Lutheran Lenten Services at Trinity Lutheran Church since 1997 (I think) and sometimes I think I should change up my sheet music. But I keep going back to the Heritage Collection II because I love these standard hymns.
These hymns are friends, they have seen me through the worse times in my life and given me comfort. Sitting at the piano at the front of the church listening to the reading of the passion served as a therapy.

I have played this piano book from front to back and most pieces are at the intermediate level and have a strong arpeggio style. This makes it easy to play but still very stylish and sounds wonderful.
Although I have played many pianos over the years my favorite piano my church piano and is the home of my spiritual soul and faith.
As the journey of Jesus takes me through Lent, Good Friday and Easter I am humbled, I pray for peace and glory at the promise of resurrection on Good Friday and celebrate Christ resurrection on Easter.
Last year I finished a daily Advent Devotional Series and this year I will concentrate on a weekly Lent series revolving around the Lutheran Lenten services at Trinity Lutheran Church.
If you have a favorite piano hymn or link to sheet music you like place your link or website here, I’m always interested in finding more piano hymn variations.
Some great old hymns there!
Nice post! I love music and although I do not play anything fluently, I do have drums and a Native American Flute. I love to pretend I can play! (when not one is around) lol
