Lutheran Worship Part 6: Salutation and Collect
In the salutation, pastor and people responsively speak the words, “The Lord be with you.

Pastor and people bless each other, and so it is a sign of the bond of love in Jesus that should reside among God’s people. Some pastors may include hand gestures that accompany the salutation. The pastor may extend his hands when he speaks, and receiving the blessing he may fold them together and slightly bow his head.
