DisciplesNet Worship #536: Proper 17 (Grogan 08.30.2020)
To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.
Much of our days is spent in simply living life. It's quite ordinary. Yet, even in those ordinary times, we may encounter extraordinary moments. Pastor Amy uses the story of the burning bush from Exodus 3:1-6 to help us understand the holiness of those moments and how to appreciate the times the extraordinary intrudes upon our ordinary times.
Join us for 30 minutes of prayer, scripture, and a number of favorite hymns, preaching and 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.
