DisciplesNet Worship #764 Advent 4 – (Smith 12.22.2024)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

"But you, O Bethlehem…" are words shared by the prophet Micah to Israel during the eighth century BCE. What did this prophecy mean? Join us today as we look at these words from so long ago, their meaning then and their meaning now in each of our lives. Pastor Russ brings our special message today, speaking from Micah 5:2-5a.
Join us for just under 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.
