DisciplesNet Worship #567: Palm/Passion Sunday (Shaw 03.28.2021)

Who is this "suffering servant" that Isaiah 50:1-9 talks about? Is it Israel? Is it Cyrus of Persia? Is it Isaiah himself? Is it all those who are called by God to be God's presence in every generation? Pastor Bob talks about this servant who "set his face like flint" and helps us to see how we can bring God's message to our generation as suffering servants who are not shy of facing a critical world.
Join us for 30 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, 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.

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.
