DisciplesNet Worship #299, “In-Between Times” (Smith 04.17.2016)
Sometimes when things in the world aren’t right, it’s hard to wait. It can be hard to even hope for a better day, to a day more like God’s kingdom, to the realm of God. Yet, that is just what the disciples of Christ are called to do. In our worship this week, we’ll be looking at how to do that, through worship, prayer, and songs lifted together to God. We sure hope that you will join us, and that you will be blessed in this short time of worshipping God together.
Our worship is 30 minutes long, and as we do each week, our closing moments together include a time of communion (breaking of the bread). We invite you to participate if you would like with some type of actual bread and drink you supply, or these elements held in your mind. You may also meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." All are welcome at our table.
