DisciplesNet Worship #594: Proper B22 (Mullen 10.03.2021)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

We also have some World Communion Day resources, including some from the Disciples Global Ministries. You can find them here.

The book of Job is one of the more difficult books to read and understand because it wrestles with human suffering and because it presents a story where that suffering is undeserved. What can we learn from Job to help us in times of suffering in our own lives? Student Minister Mary Beth Mullen speaks from Job 1:1 & 2:1-10 to help us to realize how faith can help us in such times.
Join us for 31 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few 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 #525: Proper 6 (Smith 06.14.2020)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

"Look at the fields. They are ripe with harvest." Jesus told his disciples. That was true in their time, and Pastor Russ shows us that many of the same types of things that made that time just right for the disciples to go and share the Good News are also true of our own time. Even in a time of pandemic and raw aggression. The call from Matthew 9:35-38 still holds for those of us who are Jesus' disciples.
Join us for 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #511: Lent 3 (Shaw 03.15.2020)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

There are points in our lives where we wonder if the struggle to live as God calls us is worth it. Maybe we've failed in some big way and we wonder if repentance is really still available. Pastor Bob looks at Moses' prayer for the people in Exodus 35:5-9 and the story of Zaccheus from Luke 19:1-10 to remind us that God is not finished with us.
Join us for just over 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.

DisciplesNet Worship #314, “Now I Have Seen You” (Grogan 07.31.2016)

to watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

It is an ancient, enduring question: “Why do the righteous suffer?” Our worship this week looks at this question through the eyes of Job, whose very name has linked with suffering.
Yet our worship and our preacher, Rev. Amy Grogan looks at this question framed in the sense of God’s soverignity and majesty. We hope that you will join us in worship this week as we work thorough Job’s question, our question, as people of God. Continue reading →

DisciplesNet Worship #273, “God is There” (Smith 10.25.2015)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here

The problem is as old as people's belief in God: "Where is God when people are suffering?" We confront this question head on in worship this week, using the story of Job and insightful words from Revs. Russ Smith and Bob Shaw, and in song, prayer, scripture, and communion. Continue reading →
