WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY-OCTOBER 1, 2017
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.” (Luke 6:38)
On Sunday, October 1 during worship, we will be collecting monetary gifts for World Communion Sunday. On World Communion Sunday, we celebrate unity and togetherness with all God’s children, regardless of our differences. The special offering benefits ethnic national and international United Methodist students pursuing various avenues of ministry. Together, we provide financial support for future leaders and scholars who might otherwise be forgotten.
Students who receive scholarships through contributions from World Communion Sunday study in a wide variety of fields, including ministry, family pastoral care, clinical psychology, peace and governance, crop production, law, health, rural development, and more. Average scholarships range from $500 to $12,500 a year and cover tuition and fees, books, room and board, daily transportation, medical expenses, and more.
We encourage you to join thousands of other congregations and consider giving generously on October 1 when we observe World Communion Sunday. Our gifts empower tomorrow’s leaders TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
ONE UNITY. ONE MISSION. ONE SPECIAL SUNDAY.
