A special letter came from someone in prison, and in it, a treasure that would last through eternity.  This letter-- to Christians in Philippi-- held the innermost thoughts of the Apostle Paul as he is nearing his own death, and speaks of what really matters in this world.  Paul’s words ring clear for us today, too-and are at the core of our worship this week.
We hope that you’ll stick with us for 29 minutes of prayer, reading and hearing God’s word, singing, and a special time of communion at the end. Pastor Russ Smith brings us the message from Philippians 3:4b-14. We hope that you'll be blessed by worshiping with DisciplesNet, finding ways your own faith in God can grow.

As we do every week, our closing moments together include a time of communion (breaking of the bread). We invite you to participate if you would like with some type of actual bread and drink you supply, or these elements held in your mind. You may also meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me."
