Saturday Evenings
Worship Service begins at 6:00 pm in our sanctuary.
The communion offering for October is for World Communion. World Communion Sunday is a celebration observed by several Christian denominations, taking place on the first Sunday of every October that promotes Christian unity and ecumenical cooperation. The tradition originated in the Shadyside Presbyterian Church in 1933, was adopted throughout the US Presbyterian Church in 1936, and subsequently spread to other denominations. In 1940, the Federal Council of Churches (now the National Council of Churches), endorsed World Communion Sunday and began to promote it to Christian churches worldwide.
The observance focuses the attention of United Methodists on the universal and inclusive nature of the church, recognizing unity in Jesus Christ across diverse backgrounds. Gifts to World Communion Sunday fund go toward scholarships for students in the US and students worldwide fostering global church leadership.
Your contribution makes a difference in the lives of people around the world who inspire new perspectives on ministry and mission. Thank you in advance for your support of this global endeavor.
