What is World Communion Sunday? Churches this Sunday all over the world celebrate oneness in Christ in the midst of the world ever more in need of peacemaking and the universal and inclusive nature of the church. 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. The Episcopal Church also remembers students serving abroad, particularly the Young Adult Service Corp in the Episcopal Church.

Poem for World Communion Sunday

THE TABLE WITH NO EDGES by Andrew King

We will sit down where feet tire from the journey. We will sit down where grief bends the back.

We will sit down under roofs wrecked by artillery. We will sit down where cries sound from cracked walls.

We will sit down where heat beats like hammers. We will sit down where flesh shivers in cold.

We will sit down where bread bakes on thin charcoal. We will sit down where there is no grain in baked fields.

We will sit down with those who dwell in ashes. We will sit down in shadow and in light.

We will sit down, making friends out of strangers. We will sit down, our cup filled with new wine.

We will sit down and let love flow like language.We will sit together at the table with no edges. We will sit to share one loaf, in Christ’s name, in one world.

I. Theme – Relationships

Cerezo Barredo – Mark 10:2-16

The lectionary readings are here or individually:

Genesis 2:18-24

Psalm 8

Hebrews 1:1-4; 2:5-12

Mark 10:2-16

You may want to call this “relationship” Sunday- Man to Woman, God to Man Genesis is about the creation of women (“helper”  who married and becomes “one flesh” and the Gospel when Jesus is questioned about divorce from the pharisees (yet another relationship). The Psalm is about the dominion of God  but brings in Man. “God made humans “a little lower than God.”  Well how much lower ? Sometimes we are really “low” but echoing Genesis we have dominion over the earth and there is assertion we are royal creatures. ” Hebrews considers a special Christian community and relationships to others. Christ is seen as the model who walked a difficult road with the realization of something greater lay ahead
