DisciplesNet Worship #660: New Year’s Day – (Spaulding 1.1.2023)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Janet Spaulding teaches us from Matthew 25:31-40, reminding us that whatever we offer to the stranger, or those in need, we offer to Jesus himself. There are many ways we can welcome and meet the needs of those around us. Janet helps us to understand how important that hospitality is.
This worship service is just over 28 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #659: Christmas Day – (Smith 12.25.2022)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

In a world where a thousand things clamor for our attention, do we have room in our hearts for the One who came all those years ago in Bethlehem? Pastor Russ speaks to us from Luke's story of the birth of Jesus in Luke 2:1-20 and helps us to see how we can not only make room but, in the doing so, put other things in perspective as well.
This worship service is just over 30 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #658: Advent A4 – Love – (Smith 12.18.2022)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Love is more than a pleasant feeling toward someone else. Pastor Russ speaks to us from Matthew 1:18-25 about how God loved us so much the God became like us. Part of that is so that we could become like Jesus and love God into the world.
This worship service is just under 28 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few 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.
