DisciplesNet Worship #488: Proper 23 (Lewis 10.13.2019)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We often imagine doing "great things" for the sake of God's realm, but the landscape of that realm is as dependent on the "small things" as it is on the "great things." Guest preacher Laurie Lewis brings us the story of Tabitha from Acts 9:36-42 to remind us that, when it comes to the realm of God, "Little is Much.".
Join us for 29 minutes of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as 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.
