Offering Meditation for Easter 5b – 28-Apr-24

DisciplesNet

28-April-24 (John 15:1-8)

If you've ever had vines, either intentionally or unintentionally, you know that the branches grow and they climb and soon, they're covering anywhere they can reach.
The Church is like that, but in a good way. Because of our connection with the vine, the Church can reach out into our world and bring the Good News of God's love for all people.… Read the rest “Offering Meditation for Easter 5b – 28-Apr-24”

DisciplesNet Worship #729: Easter 4 – (Cobb 4.21.2024)

Did you know you can get into trouble for doing the right thing? That's what happened to Peter and John when they healed a man. Are we willing to do the right thing even if we might get in trouble? Pastor Anita speaks to us from Acts 4:5-12 to encourage us to do the right thing.
Join us for 30 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, and 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.

Offering Meditation for Easter 3b – 14-April-24

DisciplesNet

14-April-24 (Luke 24:36b-48)

In that experience the disciples had of Jesus after the resurrection, their minds and hearts were comforted, their minds were opened to understand the scriptures and the ministry that Jesus was calling them to from then on.
In the same way the Church has the task of standing with people who are oppressed and burdened by deep concerns, we teach people how to understand the scriptures, we prepare ourselves for the ministry that God has called us to do.… Read the rest “Offering Meditation for Easter 3b – 14-April-24”
