World Communion Sunday

World Communion Sunday is a celebration observed around the world and takes place on the first Sunday of every October. This special Sunday promotes Christian unity and ecumenical cooperationIt focuses on an observance of Holy Communion. The tradition was begun in 1933 by Hugh Thomson Kerr who ministered in the Shadyside Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, MD. Originally envisioned by their Stewardship Committee, it was their attempt to bring churches together in a service of Christian unity—in which everyone might receive both inspiration and information, and how each congregation is interconnected one with another. In 1940, the Federal Councils of Churches (now the National Council of Churches) endorsed World Communion Sunday and began to promote it to Christian churches worldwide.

Here at Stowe Community Church, I am excited to join in this tradition this upcoming Sunday as we look at a parable told by Jesus from the Gospel of Luke 14: 15-24. This story reminds us that we are all invited to feast at God’s table and I invite each and every one of you to join with us in this celebration either in person or online this World Communion Sunday.

Grace and peace, 

Dan Haugh
