This week's worship at DisciplesNet looks at the story of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15:11-32. Rev. Russ Smith invites us to examine this parable from different perspectives, depending upon where each of us is in life.
Our short worship together, 30 minutes includes prayer, scripture, singing, and listening to the word together with people in times and places all around the world. Also in this week's worship, we include pastor/singer/songwriter Dean Phelps on this worship, telling the inspiration for his song, "If You Come Up Empty," which we use for our communion meditation.
As we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where 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 defies all boundaries of time, place, and structure, then we ask that you prepare a wafer, cracker, or bread and a drink. As we pray, we are praying that our blessing extends 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. (Scroll down for an Order of Worship)
