DisciplesNet Worship #130, “At Jesus Feet” (Cobb 03.17.2013)
To view this worship service in YouTube, click here.
Welcome to DisciplesNet worship! We invite you to join us now for a short time of worship, less than 30 minutes. In this time we will join together in song, God's word, prayer, communion, and a short message from Rev. Anita Cobb. In her message "At Jesus Feet," Rev. Cobb challenges us to put ourselves in the place of Mary, as told in John 12:1-8, as her heartfelt way of serving Jesus drew misunderstanding and criticism.
When you worship with DisciplesNet church, you are joining people in many times and places, yet at the same time, in the place and presence of God.
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 extend Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me."
If you would like to share with us at the table that defies boundaries of time, place, and structure, then we ask that you prepare bread, cracker, or something similar, and a drink. As we pray then, our prayer 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)
We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from beige part. Please tell friends, family, and others you know about our online church that is here with doors that are always open, walls as wide as the world, and always room at the table.
If you would like to chat with one of our pastors, including talking more about becoming a Christian or following Christ, please email us at pastor@disciplesnet.org, or contact us using the contact information on our website, including our community, DisciplesNet City Cafe, found on our website.
