World Communion Sunday This Sunday is known as World Communion Sunday, and we will be reflecting on our inter-connectedness as a global community, and as people of faith. We have seen how important it is to be able to gather with friends, loved ones, and yes, our church family as well. Many of the ways we come together for worship each week remind us of the importance of community.
In addition to the sacrament of Communion, we will consider music's role in reminding us that we are connected to God and to one another. Music does this in ways that cross cultures and borders, language and difference. I look forward to worshiping with all of you this Sunday, singing together, and remembering that God sustains us with a meal of grace. Wherever we are, we are not alone.
Blessings, Jessica |
