For decades, pastors have relied on the TLH Pastor’s Companion and the LW Little Agenda when providing pastoral care for the faithful in times of sickness and distress. The LSB Pastoral Care Companion greatly expands upon these resources, providing the pastor with a wealth of materials in his work of caring for souls.
Selected Rites
| Selected rites from the main Agenda are included in the Pastoral Care Companion, including: |
 |
 |
Baptism rites |
|
|
Rites for Christian burial |
|
|
Marriage rites |
|
|
Visiting the sick and infirm |
|
|
Communion of the homebound |
These rites are typically ones that the pastor uses apart from the corporate worship setting.
