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."

Our short worship together, 30 minutes includes 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)

We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from beige 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.

If you would like to chat with one of our pastors, including talking more about becoming a Christian or following Christ, please email us at pastor@disciplesnet.org, or contact us using the contact information on our website, including our community, DisciplesNet City Cafe, found on our website.
