DisciplesNet Worship #730: Easter 5 – (Mullen 4.28.2024)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We often think of love as an emotion, but for the Greek Testament writers including the writer of 1 John, love is an action. Love is something you do. Pastor Mary Beth speaks to us from 1 John 4:7-21 about love as an action and our call as Christians to act in love.
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 5b – 28-Apr-24

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”

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.
