October 5, 2025 World Communion Sunday -
On Sunday morning, October 5, we observed World Communion Sunday, which has special meaning for every Christian around the world. Whether we celebrate Communion
by passing the bread and wine communally or observe it privately, we break bread and pour the cup together to remember and affirm that Christ is the head of the church.
The service began with the Call to Worship, first hymn, Opening Prayers, and the Lord’s Prayer. Then breakfast began. Coffee was available, along with French toast casserole, egg casserole, potato casserole, fruit, doughnuts, apple cake, bagels, and fresh-baked cinnamon rolls. Afterward, the Service of Worship resumed. We extended the time of fellowship by observing Communion. It was a wonderful time of being together, and enjoying each other’s company. Many thanks to everyone who prepared a breakfast dish or brought additions to the meal, which we enjoyed. Special thanks to those who set up the room, placing the tablecloths, and decorating with fall leaves and autumn flowers.
The sermon was titled Yet This I Call to Mind based on verses in Lamentations 1 & 3, about not giving up hope when life seems to be hopeless, and hanging on to faith in God.
