DisciplesNet Worship #389, Advent 2: “Finding Peace,” (Shaw 12.10.2017)
To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.
Peace seems elusive in our world and in our personal lives yet we know that it is the forefront of God's hopes and goals for this world. Our worship today includes lighting the second Advent Candle during a meditation of how to seek peace in the varied aspects of our lives.
Our worship is just over 30 minutes of sacred songs, prayer, and a message from Pastor Bob.
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 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.
