An Opportunity to Worship Daily Across the Mountain Sky Area
Starting Ash Wednesday, March 1, 2017
All
who believed were together and had all things in common; they would
sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as
any had need. Day
by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke
bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising
God and having the goodwill of all the people. -Acts 2:44-47
This
Lent, Bishop Oliveto and the Joint Cabinet of the Mountain Sky Area
invite you to a simple, 20 minute, worship service starting 6:30 am every morning, excluding Sundays, through the 40 days of Lent.
Daily
worship was one of the marks of the earliest followers of Jesus
mentioned in Acts. John and Charles Wesley’s Holy Club made it a
practice to meet together every day for devotional reading and prayer.
In Life Together, Dietrich
Bonhoeffer describes in detail both the need for and practice of daily
morning worship among the body of believers.
Although daily gathered
worship has become almost inconceivable to American Protestants today,
there are many Christians around the world who still make a practice of
worshipping daily with one another.
Why don't we? Why can't we? The
answer is, thanks to technology, we can and so we should. It’s as
simple as clicking on a link on your computer, tablet, or smart-phone,
or making a phone call.
The
service will be a brief time of scripture reading, a 5-minute devotion,
and a time to pray for one another concluding with the Lord’s Prayer.
Each day’s service will be led by various conference leaders and members
of the Joint Mountain Sky Area Cabinet.
To
participate simply click on the link listed below or call in using the
