DisciplesNet Worship #126, “Sowing Compassion” (Gopp 02.17.2013)

Click here to view this video on YouTube.

This is a special week in worship at DisciplesNet.  Not only is it the first Sunday in Lent, it is part of the Week of Compassion, a special time of reflecting on the ways that God has blessed us to be able to give to others who are in need. Week of Compassion is a for-good organization that goes to places where disaster and tragedy has struck, and stays, finding ways to be God's hands and heart in the world.

What an honor and a blessing it is this week to have bringing the message for our DisciplesNet family, the Rev. Amy Gopp, the Executive Director of Week of Compassion.  Rev. Gopp draws on her experiences in serving and being served around the world, with a sermon entitled, "To God Be the Glory." Continue reading →

DisciplesNet Worship #123, “Nothing Without Love” (Cobb, 02.03.2013)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We invite you to join us for our worship, "Nothing Without Love," with an inspiring message from Rev. Anita Cobb based upon the favorite scripture from 1 Corinthians 13.  This time together includes 30 minutes of prayer, scripture, singing, and listening to the word together with people in times and places all around the world.
As we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where 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 defies all boundaries of time, place, and structure, then we ask that you prepare a wafer, cracker, or bread and a drink.  As we pray, we are praying that our blessing extends 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.  (Scroll down for an Order of Worship) Continue reading →

A Psalm for “Times I Feel Lost”

This is a paraphrase of the 23rd Psalm, intended especially for meditation when you are feeling lost. It was written by Peggy McMahon and appears in her book, Father, Hear My Psalms. The music is "Day by Day", written by Karolina Sandell-Berg in 1865 and arranged and played by Beverly Carmichael Heid.

The words are these:

The Lord is my pathfinder, I shall not lose my way.
He makes me lie down in meadows of summer bloom;
He leads me to still waters where I drink from his cup.

He restores me in purpose; He leads me to find meaning
in the smallest of offerings.

Yea, though I walk through the canyon of deepest dark,
I am not lost.
For the light of your heart's love is never extinguished,
Your nearness is never absent.

You prepare a sanctuary for me in the deep of the canyon walls,
I receive your true Word.
You anoint my head with belongingness,
my heart entrains to the pulse of Your heavenly voice.
I hear You call my name and I shall answer.

Surely all courage and direction shall be with me
all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the presence of the Lord forever.
Amen.
