What color clothing should be worn to a Lutheran Church on Palm Sunday?

Shortly said: any.
Traditionally, black is a colour for grievance, and that--along with repentance--is what Holy Week is about.
It really depends on what church you're attending. Generally--that is, I've never heard of a 'colour-clothing-code' for any church visitor--it's up to the visitors to dress in whatever colour of their preference: modesty is the rule (no too-revealing clothes, basically.) You don't have to wear a dress or a suit unless you want to! There's NO need to wear black clothes, not even on Good Friday (although black clothing is widely preferred by many Christians on Good Friday, including myself). As a matter of fact, I've seen a minister in my Evangelical-Lutheran Church dressed in a dark-red jumper on two Good Friday services while she (obviously) wasn't on duty, instead coming as a visitor, so it's up to everyone to decide.
However, seeing as it's Lent and the first day of Holy Week, I wouldn't dress too festively either. But, if you turn up not wearing black on either day while most people do, don't feel uncomfortable. And if you want to, go dressed in black both days! It's not an offence to wear or not to wear black on Good Friday or any other day! (Although, I'd refrain from wearing only black on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day due to their nature.) Modesty is the key, then you can wear whatever colour you like--even white (I've seen it worn in church on Good Friday and no one seemed to mind)!
To summarize: I'd be very surprised if people took offence as long as you're modestly dressed.
The minister and the Altar will probably be dressed in purple on Palm Sunday. The minister may wear a black (or perhaps purple) stole on Good Friday; the Altar will either be dressed in black or completely bare.

∙ 10y agoYou should dress conservatively when attending church at any time regardless of whether it's Easter Sunday. Something light in color would be preferable.

What is Mary's role in Lutheran Church How should Mary be viewed within the Missouri Synod of the Lutheran Church?
Mary was chosen to be the earthly mother of Jesus. As the Lutheran creeds clearly state, Jesus was "born of the virgin Mary". However, Mary was just a human, not in any way divine, and as such can be revered for being chosen by God, but should not be worshipped, as in the Roman Catholic church. We are not to pray to Mary or any of the saints and apostles, but to God and God alone, in any of His three forms - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Should a Catholic take Communion at a Lutheran Mass?
No, to receive communion in a Lutheran church would constitute an acceptance of the Lutheran theology and one can not be both Lutheran and Catholic.AnswerActually, Lutheran churches offer an "open table" to all believers in Jesus Christ. It does not constitute an acceptance of the denomination, rather a belief in Christianity. I do not believe that this is a hard and fast rule any longer for Catholics, but every man has to go with his conscience.
Should a confirmed Lutheran be reconfirmed when becoming Catholic?
Yes, because he confirmed his beliefs in a non-Catholic faith and must confirm them in the Catholic Church.
Can a Lutheran pastor perform a wedding ceremony outside of a church?
As for ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) pastors, yes, they can perform wedding ceremonies outside of the church building. They cannot perform ceremonies outside of the church without God being present in the ceremony, but the location is not a problem. Pastors of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) and of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) can also perform wedding ceremonies outside of church buildings since people, and not buildings, are what make up the Church. However, they will not perform weddings in church buildings of denominations different from their own. Also, WELS pastors should not officiate at weddings in which they would share officiating duties with clergy from other denominations and faiths. Most LCMS pastors will decide dual faith/denomination ceremonies on an individual basis.
