DisciplesNet Worship #598: Proper B26 (Allen 10.31.2021)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

What is the most important goal in life? What should we set ourselves to do above all other things? Dr. Rev. Ron Allen, Retired Professor of Preaching and Gospels and Letters at Christian Theological Seminary speaks from Mark 12:28-34 to help us understand the two essential things.
Join us for 31 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.

We also have some World Communion Day resources, including some from the Disciples Global Ministries. You can find them here.

The book of Job is one of the more difficult books to read and understand because it wrestles with human suffering and because it presents a story where that suffering is undeserved. What can we learn from Job to help us in times of suffering in our own lives? Student Minister Mary Beth Mullen speaks from Job 1:1 & 2:1-10 to help us to realize how faith can help us in such times.
Join us for 31 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few favorite hymns, and communion.
