Welcome to DisciplesNet Church!
We invite you to travel with us this week to the Sea of Galilee, where Pastor Audrey Borschel explores Jesus' teachings in the sermon on the mount. During this 28 minute worship, we hope that you will sing along on the old hymns, join in prayer and scripture reading. We also have a special two-part reading of the beatitudes, and hope that you will take a part.
At the last part of worship we'll be sharing in a time of communion: breaking of the bread together. This is a symbolic act for us, remembering Jesus' words to his disciples at the last supper, to share in the communion in remembrance of him.
If you prefer, you can use the few minutes of communion for prayer and meditation. If you would like to share in communion with us physically, please have ready a piece of bread or similar food, and some type of drink (we use grape juice, but other drinks will work). These represent the broken body and the blood of Jesus Christ given on our behalf. As we pray for the communion, our prayer includes what is on the table before you.
We hope you will feel at home worshipping with us, and feel a blessing from being part. Please help us spread the word about DisciplesNet Church, especially to those who are not able to attend a physical church.
May God bless you richly!
