DisciplesNet Worship #419: (Webb 07.01.2018)

What can we do when we've been carrying a burden sometimes for a very long time? Rev. Charles Webb uses the story of the woman who was healed as she touched the hem of Jesus' robe to show us how we can seek healing from God. Rev. Webb encourages us to "take a step" toward God and expect God to meet us.
Our worship today is 35 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.
Bev Heid is mentioned in the introduction to the prayer. Her surgery went well and she is currently recovering. If you'd like to hear and see Bev's contributions to DisciplesNet, click on the following link:
