This is a worship service prepared for this day by the UMC Discipleship Ministries.This Week's Theme: "Your Bone and Flesh"
Liturgical Resources
Discipleship begins with relationship. With whom are we willing to be in relationship? Who is included in our understanding of bone and flesh? Who is “us” in a world of “us” and “them”? Worship on this day can be about drawing the circle as wide as possible – to acknowledge our common kinship through the Spirit. Let there be less of a nation of boasting and more of a nation striving to be the light on the hill, the shining example of the kin-dom of heaven on earth.Worship Planning Notes
