DisciplesNet Worship # 47, “When Cultures Clash,” (Phelps, 09 11 11)
Today's worship, a 9-11 special called "When Cultures Clash," has been created to bring those who join with us a time of peace and healing. However, while creating this, we've created it with a general theme of bringing time of prayer and healing against violent acts that have happened, and continue to happen anywhere in the world.
We hope you will be blessed by this special time of prayer and its seven prayers in seven stations.
Today's worship has a message about forgiveness and direction in times of turmoil and clashing cultures. In addition to the beautiful background music provided by musician Pam Barksdale of Marietta, Georgia, our worship today offers the duo of Twana A. Harris and Dean Phelps singing the African American spiritual, "There Is a Balm in Gilead."
Closing our worship is Phoebe Spier's rendition of "Let There Be Peace on Earth." quite a gift from a church leader who has dedicated herself to working in peace ministries.
