What is it like to have everything you thought you knew challenged? This happened to Nicodemus, a religious leader who came to Jesus at night when his colleagues were dismissing Jesus' claims, but had the insight to believe their might be more to them. We hope that you will join us for this short time of worship and hear Pastor Russ Smith look at Jesus and Nicodemus' interaction, and see what is in it for us today. Rev. Smith speaks from the Gospel of John, 3:1-17.

During our 30-minute time together we hope that you will sing or keep time with the hymns, join in our prayer and scripture--
And at the last of our worship we'll be sharing in a time of communion: breaking of the bread together. This is a symbolic act for us, remembering Jesus' words to his disciples at the last supper, to share in the communion in remembrance of Jesus life and redeeming acts.

If you prefer during our short time of communion, you can use the moments for prayer and meditation. If you would like to share in communion with us physically, please have ready a piece of bread, rice or similar food, and some type of drink (we use grape juice, but other drinks will work). These represent the broken body and the blood of Jesus Christ given on our behalf. As we pray for the communion, our prayer includes what is on the table before you.

We hope you will feel at home worshipping with us, and feel a blessing from being part. Please help us spread the word about DisciplesNet Church, especially to those who are not able to attend a physical church.

May God bless you richly!
