Within the Society of the Holy Trinity (pan-Lutheran clergy order) signing the cross is performed at the invocation, Gospel, benediction, and at the words "the resurrection of the body" in the Creed. Most will offer a profound bow at the beginning of the Sanctus, though for what duration varies widely; some through only through the thrice Holies; other through "...God of power and might" and other through the first "Hosanna in the highest". Signing the cross at "Blessed is he..." is widespread, although I tend to do so only when celebrating. Most in the Society will offer a bow of the head at the mention of the name of Jesus in a prayer, as in the conclusion of a Collect "through Jesus Christ our Lord..."
Kneeling for the Confession and for litanies in the prayer offices depends on the availability of kneelers or spacing of the seating.

Do you cross yourselves backwards like the Latins and do you use two or three fingers? :)
