DisciplesNet Worship #672: Lent 4 – (Phelps 3.19.2023)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We continue our emphasis in this season of Lent on stumbling blocks, those obstacles in our path of life that will cause us to stumble and maybe fall. Today Pastor Deb speaks to us from the story of Jesus healing a man that was born blind and dealing with the misconception that his suffering was a result of his or his parents' sin. Pastor Deb shows us how judging others will cause us to stumble and how we can act toward others with mercy.
Our worship service is 30 minutes of prayer, some favorite hymns, teaching, 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 hope that as you join us for worship you will feel a blessing from being 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #502: Epiphany+2 (Smith 01.19.2020)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

Light and darkness are one way of describing the struggle between good and evil. In the third of the series of looking at light as a way of understanding God's work in the world, pastor Russ Smith uses John 1:1-5 to help us understand this struggle and the part we play in it.
Join us for 27 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.
