DisciplesNet Worship #115 “For Prophets Then and Now,” (Borschel, 12.16.2012)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Rev. Dr. Audrey Borschel brings an inspiring  message about prophets then and prophets now for our third Sunday in Advent. This is the SUnday when we light the advent candle of joy, leading up in anticipation to the birth of the Christ child.
If you have an advent candle, you may like to light yours as we light ours during worship.   Our worship is rich with music and opportunities to sing along.
We also have a special prayer in response to the terrible injury and loss of life of children in China and Connecticut as we were preparing our worship video.
Our worship includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread)--for which we extend the invitation given by Jesus Christ to all who would come.  If you would like to share with us in this time at the table that passes all boundaries of place, time, and walls, then we ask that you prepare a wafer, cracker, or bread and a drink, and we ask that our blessing will extend to where you are.  If you are unable to eat or drink, use a symbolic gesture or mental symbols of joining with us.

DisciplesNet celebrates its second anniversary by receiving a special guest to bring you our message, looking at three special visions, or discernments to bring us closer to God, that we can find at the table.
We are humbled and so grateful that Rev. Dr. Sharon Watkins, the General Minister and President of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada, took time from her extraordinarily busy schedule to give this message to our DisciplesNet family. This was filmed in the chapel at Disciples Center headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.

Who are the saints in your life?  In our worship today, "Remembering the Saints," Rev.
