Offering Meditation for Proper C8 – 29-Jun-25

DisciplesNet

29-Jun-25 (Luke 9:51-62)

What happens in our relationships with others if we act in love first, before all other things? Pastor Mary Beth speaks to us from Galatians 3:23-29 about acting in love first.
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 Proper C7 – 22-Jun-25

DisciplesNet

22-Jun-25 (Luke 8:26-39)

Whatever the demons that had wrecked the life of the young man whom Jesus encountered were, Jesus was able to remove their influence from him and restore him to health and stability.
I won't say that Jesus had an easier job, but the demons we face today are scourges like poverty and homelessness, systems of oppression so embedded into our institutions that we sometimes think "That's just the way things are."… Read the rest “Offering Meditation for Proper C7 – 22-Jun-25”
