DisciplesNet Worship #768 Epiphany 2 – (Borschel 01.19.2025)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

The first of Jesus' signs occurs at a wedding in Cana of Galilee, where Jesus turns wash-water into fine wine. It's an odd miracle.  Pastor Audrey speaks to us from John 2:1-11 and 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 to help us understand what this sign can it tell us about Jesus and his ministry.
Join us for 29 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, and communion. You may choose to participate or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.

Offering Meditation for Epiphany 2C – 19-Jan-25

DisciplesNet

19-Jan-25 (John 2:1-11)

I wonder if Jesus, in John's gospel, seems to be reluctant to openly begin his ministry at the wedding in Cana. I think we can understand. Sometimes we're reluctant to be seen in a particular way.
As we come to the time of offering, we might recognize ourselves as standing in the middle of what we're comfortable with and what we're called to do.… Read the rest “Offering Meditation for Epiphany 2C – 19-Jan-25”

DisciplesNet Worship #767 Baptism of Jesus – (Phelps 01.12.2025)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

"Are you the one who has come to save the world?" the people asked the little boy. His answer comes on the heels of our celebration of Christmas --and now, Jesus' first steps as he begins the ministry we read about in the New Testament.
Along the way this worship we'll visit John the Baptist in the wilderness and pay a visit to him in the Jordan River, where the Holy Spirit descends like a dove upon a special One whom John baptizes, and we talk about Epiphany of God's presence in the world.
Join us for 30 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, and communion. You may choose to participate or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.
