World Communion Sunday: On the first Sunday in October, United Methodist congregations join many Christian churches across the globe in celebrating World Communion Sunday.
World Communion Sunday began as World-Wide Communion Sunday at Shadyside Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh in 1933. The Rev. Hugh Thompson Kerr and his congregation sought to demonstrate the interconnectedness of Christian churches, regardless of denomination. Rev. Kerr appropriately chose the sacrament of Holy Communion to symbolize this unity.
World Communion Sunday celebrates the unity and diversity of the universal Christian community. Gather around the Lord’s table and recognize our unity in Christ, joining with others worldwide in Holy Communion. Embracing this commitment, United Methodists nurture diverse leadership within the church by allocating funds for scholarships and leadership training for under-represented students. Use the envelope in today’s bulletin to contribute to these scholarships.
P.E.O. yard sale in The Lighthouse. P.E.O. funds student scholarships. Come to see what you might be able to use for a great price – while supporting these scholarships. Thursday, October 9, 9 am – 7 pm. Friday, October 10, 9 am – 3 pm. Saturday, October 11, 9:00 am – 12 noon.
