First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Contemporary Worship Service Reign of Christ Sunday November 20, 2011

11:10am

The Congregation Gathers Worship begins with songs and the sharing of Christs peace. JuBELLation will be playing Come, Worship the King by Sharon Elery Rogers. Sharing the Word As part of our service today, we will share stories and read scripture. Todays message from Owen Cayton is, "Serving Jesus in the World" with scripture from Ezekiel 34:11-24 and Matthew 25:31-46. Joys, Concerns and Pastoral Prayer Gods heart is always open to Gods people and so we are called together to life celebrations and concerns in prayer. God joins us in our deepest moments of pain and our greatest moments of joy...and everything in between. We take this time to pray for ourselves, the church, and the world in word and song. Sharing of Ourselves and God in Thanksgiving At the table of God, we offer ourselves and the work of our hands in service to God and the church in the world. In thanksgiving, we bring financial gifts as well as gifts of time and energy and sometimes other gifts like food for the food panty. We also bring bread and cup to place on the table. Communion is observed weekly. This is Christ table and all believers in Him are invited partake. If you with to participate, please come forward at the invitation to the table. Communion is served by intinction (dipping your bread in the chalice).
