What miracle story is the only one found in all four gospels? A hint is, it is found in the Gospel of Mark, and it has to do with a different sort of table. We are honored today to have our message delivered by special guest preacher Bruce Barkhauer, whose helps us look at just how much is enough when Jesus is in the midst.

Bruce is an ordained minister with the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ. His sermon from Mark 6:30-44, is the second of four in a series of stewardship materials authored by Bruce Barkhauer and Ronald Allen: From Bread and Wine to Faith and Giving, available from the Center for Faith and Giving (www.centerforfaithandgiving.org).
We are grateful to the Center for Faith and Giving for permission to use these resources online.

DisciplesNet church works to bring the church to people not able to attend a physical church, as well as those who benefit by connecting online 24/7 with the special faith resources we create. We work to bring the Good News of God's redeeming love to the world.
As DisciplesNet approaches our fourth anniversary, we seek God's guidance as our unique minisitry keeps growing. As we prayerfully seek to reach people online around the world, we also prayerfully seek to be the best stewards possible of the resources that people are sharing in God's work through DisciplesNet Church. We invite you to join in giving through DisciplesNet --or another ministry of your choosing-- as you consider your own place and circumstances, and how God calls you to share your own gifts.

Worship today is about 37 minutes, a time of celebrating God's presence through song, prayers, scripture, and considering God's word together. As you worship with us, keep in mind that our 'pews' are very big: you will be worshipping with people in times and places all around the world. We like to think that although most of us can't see each other here, God sees our DisciplesNet Church gathered, perfectly well, and is in our midst.

As we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where 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 all 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 are given to 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.

We hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from beige part. Please tell friends, family, and others you know about our online church that is here with doors that are always open, walls as wide as the world, and always room at the table.
