DisciplesNet Worship #688: Proper 9A – (Borschel 7.09.2023)

To watch this worship service on YouTube, click here.

When two oxen are yoked together and they're working together, they can do more and better work than simply combining the work of each. So it is when we are "yoked together with Jesus." But there's something even more. Jesus says, "Take my yoke upon you... for my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Pastor Audrey speaks to us from Matthew 11:28-30 about how being "yoked with Jesus" actually gives us energy to do the things we are called to do. Learn how taking up a yoke can be a form of rest.
Our worship service is 29 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.
