Pastor’s Pause: Rev. Bonnie Shively

“One Bread, One Body”

Work hard so God can approve you. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. – 2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT) Today we celebrate World Communion Sunday, a day when Christians worldwide celebrate Holy Communion as one. World Communion Sunday was begun among several U.S. Protestant denominations in the 1940s as a way of recognizing and celebrating that we celebrate Communion with Christians of many theologies and denominations all over the world. At that time, many Protestant denominations in the U.S. celebrated Communion very infrequently. Quarterly celebration was often the norm, and it was rarely coordinated across denominations or even within them. Setting the first Sunday of October as World Communion Sunday through the Federal Council of Churches became one way to ensure that at least once per year, many American Protestants, and their related missionary churches outside the U.S., might celebrate at the same time. Since the 1940s, when World Communion Sunday was founded, nearly all Protestant denominations in the U.S., including United Methodists, have significantly increased the frequency of celebrating Holy Communion. Weekly celebration is a common stated norm. Celebration at least monthly is the most commonly practiced norm, including the first Sunday of each month and other Holy Days, such as Christmas Eve, Epiphany, Transfiguration, Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Easter, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, World Communion Sunday, All Saints, and Christ the King. Today, many more U.S. Protestants celebrate Holy Communion on the same Sundays many times every year. So now, World Communion Sunday brings special emphasis to that part of our ecumenically shared Communion ritual where we join the songs and prayers of all the saints on earth and all the saints and creatures of heaven around the Lord’s Table. May your celebration be filled with the praises of our Holy, Holy, Holy Triune God this day!

Around the globe, countless gifted and qualified people face financial obstacles that hinder them from preparing for the vocation God has given them, especially youth and young adults. For ethnic students who will be the first generation in their families to attend college, or for those people of color who haven’t historically had access to resources that make higher education possible, the road toward education has often been unwieldy.

What would it look like if the church today imitated Jesus’ affirmation of the full dignity and God-given potential of all women and men—especially those who’ve historically been assigned to the world’s margins? On World Communion Sunday your giving helps to provide scholarships for national and international graduate students whom God has gifted to learn and to serve.

Please consider making a donation to this United Methodist Special Sunday Offering. Special offering envelopes will be available in the sanctuary during worship services on Sunday.
