"Celebrating World Communion Sunday"
World Communion Sunday began in 1936 when the Presbyterian Church decided to celebrate churches around the world in a special worship service. The idea spread and in 1940 the World Council of Churches adopted it.
We celebrate all Christians around the world who are united by our faith on this day. This doesn’t mean we don’t celebrate or honor or have friendships with people of other faiths. But on this special day, once a year, we take time to remember Christians everywhere in the world and that we all have something in common. We all share a faith in Jesus Christ and his ministry in the world. This feels pretty important in a time of so much division.
On Sunday we will think about our fellow Christians scattered across the globe and give thanks for God who brings us together in love.
