Jesus seemed to love joining others at their table and inviting them to his own. And Jesus’ followers have been extending his table invitation through the centuries, just as we invite you here to worship today, in special recognition of World Communion Sunday. Through scripture, song, prayer, message, and a special guest from the Democratic Republic of Congo, we worship God today, and hope you will find 28 minutes of your time to be part of this time together before our God. As we do every week, our time together includes a time of communion (breaking of the bread) where 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 all 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 are given to 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. (Scroll down for an Order of Worship) 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. ORDER OF WORSHIP: 1.
