Beyond the Walls – The Great Commission Michael Wright joins us from Rome, Italy, to share a message on our theme, “The Great Commission.” In Matthew’s gospel, after the resurrection, the disciples are visited by the risen Christ who promises us that “he will be with us always,” and commands that we “make disciples in every nation.” How has this great commission affected the course of Christian history through the centuries and how should we understand the call as 21st century disciples? This service will be co-sponsored by Community Circle, an international ministry of Community of Christ in Europe. We will share communion 🍞🍇 with all those participating live from around the world 🌏 We invite you to share this hour of reflection, prayer, meditation, music, and fellowship with the Beyond the Walls global community on 📅 Sunday, April 7, 2024. ⏰12:00 PM EDT YouTube: https://youtu.be/BlThH_ZK10U ⏰12:00 PM EDT Facebook: https://fb.me/e/8M77nNXPH ⏰6:00 PM EDT YouTube: https://youtu.be/sc1qlylIGZY ⏰6:00 PM EDT Facebook: https://fb.me/e/8hIv6JfQt ORDER OF WORSHIP Prelude: Greetings: John Hamer — Toronto Centre Place Call to Worship: Opening Hymn CCS Invocation: Living Church Lesson: Global Welcome: Leandro Palacios — Toronto Centre Place Hymn CCS Lectionary: Sermon: Michael Wright — Rome, Italy Blessing on the Bread: Don Wiley — Murrieta, California Blessing on the Wine: Sue Wiley — Murrieta, California Closing Hymn Sending Forth: John Hamer — Toronto Centre Place Postlude: A bulletin with the order of worship is available at https://www.centreplace.ca/bulletin April 14 Kitchener - Apostle Art Smith will be the guest speaker.
