Overture 4.11 To Give Thanks to God for Liturgies et cantiques luthériens»
WHEREAS Liturgies et cantiques luthériens is the first ever such publication by our synod; and
WHEREAS the hymnal was dependent solely on a generous grant from the Schwan Foundation, an
anonymous donor and lay and clergy volunteers, thus requiring no synod monies; and
WHEREAS no other such hymnal is currently available for French speakers anywhere, thus allowing
Lutheran Church–Canada to make an unique contribution to hymnody in Canada and around
the world; and
WHEREAS in Liturgies et cantiques luthériens Lutheran Church–Canada is able to offer the whole French
speaking world a theologically sound hymnal filled with rich and varied hymn and liturgical
resources; and
WHEREAS Liturgies et cantiques luthériens affords Lutheran Church–Canada a great opportunity to
reach out with the gospel to francophones in Canada and around the world in song; and
WHEREAS the hymnal’s first printing in 2009 has sold out and a second printing was produced in 2010;
and
