DisciplesNet Worship #796 Proper 13 – (Smith 08.03.2025)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

One of the most important aspects of being Christian is that we have love for each other. We may have many things that are different about us, from one to another, but we're all children of God and we're Christians. Pastor Russ speaks to us from Colossians 3:12-17 about the call for unity among believers as well as the call to celebrate the uniqueness in each of us.
This worship service also includes a mini-hymn sing of Blest Be the Tie that Binds, Weave, and Come Share the Lord.
Join us for 26 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.

We recognize that each and every one of us is different from the others and yet the call is clear that the Church should be one. How do we do that? How can we find unity with all that diversity? Pastor Russ speaks to us from Colossians 3:12-17 on how we can be different, but undivided.
