Every year our congregation joins Christians around the world in celebrating World
Communion Sunday. Born in a time of international unrest as nations were about to
enter another world war, World Communion Sunday’s central focus is the Lord’s
Supper instituted by Christ and its unifying message for all who partake of it. We are
one in Christ Jesus, and not to be separated by the nations, ethnic groups, or
denominations we belong to, or for any other reason.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) also marks the day by a call to peacemaking, urging
us to be followers of the Prince of Peace. One concrete way that we do that is by
receiving the Peacemaking Offering. Through this special offering, we work together
with others in our presbytery, our synod, and nationally through the General Assembly’s
Peacemaking Program to learn and live out the ways of peace.
During the month of September members of the Mission and Social Concerns committee
will be sharing minutes for mission and our opportunity to join in ministry for peace around
the world. On October 5 we will celebrate World Communion Sunday and commit
ourselves to working for the unity of the church and the peace of Christ and dedicate our
Peacemaking Offering. Let us give generously to the Peacemaking offering.
