Hutterites usually have daily church services. Everyday worship (Gebet) is approximately half an hour in length, and usually before supper. On Sunday and during religious holidays church services are held in the forenoon. The morning service typically lasts about 75 minutes. Services are started with a song. Although, most Hutterite ministers still line the words to the song for the congregation, this practice is becoming less common, especially among the Schmiedeleut. This practise originated in the 16th and 17th century when a lack of songbooks was a problem. Lehr (Sunday morning
service) Gebet (daily,
evening services) Hutterites have religious holidays at Christmas time, Easter, and ascension. Special services (Lehren) are held for baptism and weddings |
