DisciplesNet Worship #411, Easter 6: (Miller 05.06.2018)
To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.
There are many reasons to experience joy in this world, yet God's Spirit gives us joy above and beyond our circumstances; even when those circumstances might lean us away from joy. Pastor Carolynn Miller uses Psalm 98 to show us how we can be joyful in every circumstance.
Our worship today is 28 minutes long and includes a time of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite Easter hymns, preaching as well as communion. 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 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.

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.
