How are Lutheran weekday “prayer services” different from “matins” or “vespers”?

Upvote:3

Matins and Vespers are prayer services prescribed for the morning and evening respectively, and the terms generally refer to services with particular orders of worship laid down in various hymnals used by the Lutheran denominations. However, while "matins" is an order of worship established for use in the morning, there are some congregations, and some times, when a morning prayer service might not use the order prescribed for worship, and other times when the service might, indeed, use that formulary, but for some reason might choose the name "morning prayer" rather than "matins".

In a Lutheran Church, I would expect a morning prayer service, though, would normally, though not exclusively use the order for matins.
