Welcome to DisciplesNet Church, an internet church with walls as wide as the world, doors that are always open, and always room at the table.
This week's worship looks at the act of giving thanks, using the Luke 17 story of the persons with leprosy whom Jesus healed.

Worship #167 gives thanks in many ways, including connections to traditional Thanksgiving holidays; this week many in America and other lands will celebrate the time together with feasting and prayers of gratitude.
Also, as we do every week, we extend the invitation for you to join as we celebrate the Lord's Supper, also known as breaking of the bread, communion, and the Eucharist. We believe that it is Jesus Christ who invites God's children to the Table as a special, symbolic way of remembering him, so that all who would say "yes" to Christ's invitation may come in reverence and share in taking the bread and cup, either physically or in one's mind.

If you would like to share in communion physically, please have ready a piece of bread or similar food and some type of drink (we use grape juice, but other liquids including wine and water will work).  These represent the broken body and the blood of Jesus Christ given on our behalf.

We hope that as you join us for worship you will 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!
