The typical Lutheran church has a narthex or entry way; the nave where the people gather; the sanctuary from which the sacrament is served and from which the Word is proclaimed.

I know that you have an election coming and that some of you have no fondness for the man but I am confident you underestimate the very low esteem in which he is held elsewhere.
Global warming? A European plot to destabalise our economy.
