DisciplesNet Worship #798 Proper 15 – (Shaw 08.17.2025)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

What does it mean to have a "cloud of witnesses" around us? What does it mean for us to take our place in that great cloud of witnesses? Pastor Bob speaks to us from Hebrews 11:29-12:2 about the people who lived lives of faith that we can use as examples and how we can be examples to those who come after 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 #480: Proper 15 (Smith 08.18.2019)

What kind of help do we have when we seek to live out our faith in our lives? Pastor Russ uses the scripture from Hebrews 11:29-12:2 to talk about the "great cloud of witnesses" and one witness in particular that help us understand how real, human, people lived out faith in their times and places.
Join us for just over 30 minutes of prayer, scripture, a number of favorite hymns, preaching as well as 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.
