Yesterday was World Communion Sunday.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
It's a great time to focus on the fact that the church is bigger than your worshiping community.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
It's bigger than your ethnic background or the city you live in, and that Jesus wasn't white anglo-saxon you know even though we used to have a fan in our um like a hand fan that was available in our church because we don't have air conditioning and the jesus on it looked just like barry gibb and i used to think that is that's not just not the way jesus looked that's just not what it was anyway to talk about world communion sunday i'm happy to have the reverend terry tim back with me he's from christ community church of the south hills hey ter welcome back

I'm just having a hard time just moving that Barry Gibb Jesus out of my – that's going to be burned in my memory for quite a while.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
You know, it's that image of Jesus holding the lamb, and he just looks like he's from Dayton.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
Do you know what I mean? Yes.
Tom PaceHOST
If you're interested in joining St. Luke's, I'd love to tell you more about that.
Tom PaceHOST
So today is World Communion Sunday.
Tom PaceHOST
Um, we-- This is one of two times a year we celebrate communion, uh, the first Sunday of Lent and, um, and World Communion Sunday in all of our services.
Tom PaceHOST
And, uh, it focuses on the fact that when we come to the Lord's table, we are not just connecting with God, but we also are connecting with one another.
Tom PaceHOST
We sit together at a table, but we also connect with people all over the world in all different denominations, that there is a, a tie that binds us all together in Jesus, and we're all at the table, Russian Orthodox and Roman Catholic, and w-well, you name whatever the group is, that this recognizes us all together as part of, of the family of Christ.

In honor of World Communion Sunday, hear these words from Psalm 133.
Michelle CockcroftHOST
Yeah.
Michelle CockcroftHOST
So today, as we celebrate World Communion Sunday, we wanna remember that we are connected to Christians all over the world, and we're all connected as the Body of Christ.
Michelle CockcroftHOST
So let's...
Michelle CockcroftHOST
I'm gonna say a prayer, and then we're...
Michelle CockcroftHOST
Open our hearts and minds as to how we are to respond to the needs around us.
Michelle CockcroftHOST
And help us to release our worries and anxieties to you, and to know that our future and security are in you, oh Lord.
Michelle CockcroftHOST
Lord, help us to remember today on this World Communion Sunday, and every day, that we are connected to you and to Christians of all denominations, nationalities, and ethnicities worshiping in a myriad of ways.
Michelle CockcroftHOST
Encourage us.
Christopher M. LeeGUEST
Here we have two different people from drastically different realities, much like us who gather in this place called the church.
Christopher M. LeeGUEST
So on this World Communion Sunday, I believe we are asked to step into this story as people of different perspectives entrusted with the propagation of the gospel to the ends of the earth, no matter where it may take us, even with those who are not like us, whoever we are.
Christopher M. LeeGUEST
Now, as different as we are, as different as we see things, I believe this text makes it possible for us to have a common perspective because there are people in all of our lives and in the neighborhood of the world that ask us as individuals and ask us as the collective gathered church, you want me to believe, you want me to understand, but how can I unless someone guides me? If we're to properly share the gospel story, We must share the same story regardless of our perspectives.
Christopher M. LeeGUEST
We need, quite frankly, to get our stories straight.
LDHOST
Neighborhood development is co-creating holistic flourishing in the Wellington Heights neighborhood, wider community, and beyond.
LDHOST
Today is also World Communion Sunday, and we intentionally turn our attention to this global gathering that happens every time we share the cup and the bread.
LDHOST
Across cultures, countries, traditions, and denominations, we worship in many different ways, yet we are bound together in Christ.
LDHOST
Jesus says, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me." Today, we remember that Christ's table is bigger than any one church, tradition, or community.
Donovan DrakeHOST
It is World Communion Sunday and people all over the world will be gathering around a table to taste and see that the Lord is good.
Donovan DrakeHOST
It is the oldest practice we have as a church.
Donovan DrakeHOST
For thousands of years we have gathered to remember this is my body broken for you.
