DisciplesNet Worship #750 Proper 19 – (Borschel 9.15.2024)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

One of the ways we sense Christ's presence in the world most clearly is through Christ's presence at the table of communion. Pastor Audrey speaks to us from Mark 8:24-38 about that presence and how we can experience it more fully.
For this service also, we had visitors from the Congolese Disciples of Christ who joined us in song and in communion.
Join us for just over 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.

There are times in all of our lives that we feel alone, sometimes even as if God has left us. Pastor Bob speaks to us from Mark 7:31-37 and Isaiah 35:4-7 about God's promise to each of us that God will never leave us. We are never alone.

DisciplesNet Worship #748 Proper 17 – (Smith 9.01.2024)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Jesus said a lot of things that are hard for us, not simply to understand, but to do. Pastor Mary Beth Mullen speaks to us from John 6:56-69 about one such time when some of Jesus' disciples actually left him. She talks about how Jesus "has the words of life" and how we can have the courage to continue to follow him.
Join us for just over 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.
