Table Meditation (Gospel) for Lent 5a – 22-Mar-26

DisciplesNet

22-Mar-26 (John 11:1-45)

Meditation:

So, Lazarus is raised from the dead.  Raised to do what?  Sure, every time one of the people who were present at that resurrection sees Lazarus walking around, they'll think about the power of God who raised him, but neither Jesus nor God seem to be really concerned with bringing faith through signs and wonders in John's Gospels.  … Read the rest “Table Meditation (Gospel) for Lent 5a – 22-Mar-26”

DisciplesNet Worship #828 (Grogan, 03.15.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

The story of the Jesus encountering a man that had been born blind includes the reactions of those who saw the man after he had been healed. It's not just a story of healing. It also talks about choosing not to see. Pastor Amy speaks to us from John 9:1-41 and helps us to understand seeing as God see the world and how willfully choosing not to see will also mean we don't see God's realm coming into being among us.
Join us for just over 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #827 (Mullen, 03.08.2026)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

The story of Jesus meeting the woman at the well is one that challenged the first people who heard it to think beyond their tribes and factions. It can challenge us in the same way today. Pastor Mary Beth speaks to us from John 4:5-42 and helps us to see that each and every person we meet should be recognized as a beloved child of God.
Join us for just under 29 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.
