World Communion Sunday is October 4

Learn about the history of World Communion Sunday

World Communion Sunday is Oct. 4, 2020. Celebrated the first Sunday in October, this Special Sunday with offering focuses our attention on the universal and inclusive nature of the church. We look forward to this celebration annually when we partake of Holy Communion together and share our gifts to support racial-ethnic students and others in their quest to become leaders who embody the mission of The United Methodist Church.

The offering facilitates the educational preparation and training of United Methodists from around the world and bolsters recruitment, training and retention of racial-ethnic people for leadership positions at every level of the church.

You can contribute online to World Communion Sunday at UMC.org/SSGive!

Thank you for your generous gifts.
