DisciplesNet Worship #420: (Shaw 07.08.2018)
To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.
Pastor Bob looks at the stories of Jesus and Ezekiel who were both discounted by their own people. The message is both a challenge and an affirmation for all who experience similar treatment.
Our worship today is 25 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.
