"You have worn me out! God tells the people of Israel through the prophet Malachi." We hope that you'll join us for worship today this Second Sunday in Advent as we look at what it is like to be in the gold refiner's fire.
Rev. Charles Webb will be bring our message, speaking from Malachi 2:17-3:4 .Join us in worship as we explore these ideas, as we explore God's refining and sculpting of us in 30 minutes of scripture, prayer, singing, communion.
We hope that you'll be blessed by worshiping with DisciplesNet, finding ways your own faith in God can grow in theses trying times.
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 goes beyond all 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 are given to 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. (Scroll down for an Order of Worship)
We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from being 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.
