Ordinary Time - Exodus 16:1-18 // Bread for the World w/Drew Willson.On this World Communion Sunday, we're mindful of the many gifts and cultures that make up the Body of Christ.

This Sunday, we celebrated World Communion Sunday remembering that we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves, but also that sometimes, the thing that unites us is a collective crying out to God, "How long, O Lord?"

Habakkuk 1: 1-4 Susan Scott preached on World Communion Sunday and reminded us that regardless of our various religious journeys, national origins, denominations, and worship practices (including the incarcerated who cannot choose their mode of worship), that we are all a part of larger Christian Church family that is striving to follow the teachings of Christ. Susan also reflected on the lamentations of Habakkuk from the lectionary scripture. During these very tense, frustrating and worrisome times we are experiencing, it is easy to reflect negativity and despair back into the world. Lamentations, a form of brutally honest prayer, is one way that we can offload these feelings and transition our frustrations into a posture of waiting to hear from God and also a trust in God's love, goodness, and mercy for us.

This morning, we will celebrate World Communion Sunday, a day when Christians around the globe gather at the Lord's Table. In Luke 24, the disciples' eyes were opened at Emmaus when Jesus blessed and broke bread with them, turning their despair into joy and their confusion into hope. At the Lord's Table, we too encounter Christ's living presence—a presence that binds us together across nations and generations, strengthens us for the journey, and nourishes us for the healing of the world. Sermon on Luke 24:28-35, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on October 5th, 2025.

Rev. Dr. Jason Hays, Executive Minister

This week in worship, it is World Communion Sunday. This is a great chance for Christians around the world to come together, united through this holy sacrament. The message of Jesus is for the whole world. Our humanity depends on the humanity of all people. When we celebrate communion, we proclaim that we belong to a church much larger than just our local congregation or denomination—we belong to the worldwide body of Christ. 

The scripture this morning was Matthew 15:29-39. Raymond Stubblefield gave the Meditation.

Today we celebrate World Communion Sunday and marvel at what makes the table such a powerful place of connection. From family meals to Jesus' last supper, tables hold laughter, stories, and sometimes even conflict. This message explores how Christ's table invites us into forgiveness, openness, and a love that transforms every table we gather around.

God exhorts us to pray for all people – including our leaders – so that all people may live free.

Jesus Beyond the Border – Today is World Communion Sunday, and the scripture is the story in Luke of Jesus traveling, and, on his way, healing ten lepers, only one of whom returns to praise God and thank Jesus, and that fellow was a Samaritan. Carol told of an experience she had some years ago visiting a children's hospital in Israel where staff members were from various countries and the patients, children, were from various places as well. But together the atmosphere at the hospital was inclusive and focused on healing. In Jesus' time, Samaritans and Jews did not get along, but in this specific story, Jesus was inclusive of the ten lepers, no matter their origins. At the end of the healing he instructs them to go see a priest to get clearance that they are healed. Most do, focused on getting back to the lives they led before coming down with leprosy. But the one who turned back to Jesus came not only to thank him but to become a follower. It is an example for us on World Communion Sunday, following the example of Jesus and the leper to reach out to everyone and include them.

"Hope for the World" – Matthew 5:38-48 Part IV of the Sermon Series "Invest in Hope" Sermon by the Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from World Communion Sunday, October 6, 2024. "Violence persists in this world, and so what are we, the Body of Christ, to do? "In our passage, Jesus is trying to tell his disciples—Jesus is trying to tell us what to do. We get this piece of wisdom in Matthew 5 about loving our enemies because Jesus cares deeply how we, disciples then and now, practice this thing he calls the 'kingdom of heaven.' This sermon of his is about bending, bending, bending that arc towards justice, all while pointing to a new heaven and a new earth made possible through the hope of Jesus Christ.

In a joint service of The Kingstowne Communion and Franconia UMC on World Communion Sunday, Pastor Michelle and Pastor Melissa are asked questions by youth from churches about the meaning, power, and relevancy of Communion.

Isaiah 11: 1-9 Melissa Florer-Bixler preaches on Isaiah's vision of the lion laying down with the lamb and reminds us, rather appropriately on World Communion Sunday, to consider more deeply in that context how we address the multitude of intractable conflicts occurring throughout the world. Naturally, we cannot rely on willpower alone to overcome the worst "carnivorous" parts of our nature that inflame these conflicts. Rather, it is through the transformative gift of Jesus that we are remade in the image of God and can then work to build real peace. We invite you to listen and join our congregation as we discover how a children's book, Wild Robot, can demonstrate the heart of this transformative process and point us towards practical ideas to implement peace-building.

Rest is a form of liberation that should be integrated in our personal and societal lives. We also celebrate World Communion Sunday and celebrate liberation in God's community. Join us as we dive into Deuteronomy 5:12-15.

Communion, also known as the Eucharist or the Lord's Supper, is a central act of Christian worship that commemorates Jesus' sacrifice. Its roots trace back to the Old Testament Passover, which celebrated the Israelites' liberation from Egypt. Jesus redefined this meal during the Last Supper, establishing a new covenant through His body and blood. The early church continued this practice, emphasizing repentance and thanksgiving. Today, World Communion Sunday unites Christians globally, reminding us of our shared faith and the grace of God in Jesus Christ.
