Week 3: God’s Love Today – Communion at Our Church

Creation Station: World Comm. Sunday Bulletin Covers

Briefly explain what World Communion Sunday is:
World Communion Sunday offers congregations a distinctive opportunity to experience Holy Communion in the context of the global community of faith. The first Sunday of October has become a time when Christians in every culture break bread and pour the cup to remember and affirm Christ as the Head of the Church. On that day, they remember that they are part of the whole body of believers. Whether shared in a grand cathedral, a mud hut, outside on a hilltop, in a meetinghouse, or in a storefront, Christians celebrate the communion liturgy in as many ways as there are congregations. World Communion Sunday can be both a profound worship experience and a time for learning more about our wider community of faith. (http://www.ucc.org/worship_communion)

Distribute paper, markers, clip-art/glue sticks etc. to families. Be sure to mark a box on the papers that is the correct size for the space available on the cover of the worship bulletins. Invite families to create illustrations for the bulletin covers – encourage them to include symbols for communion in general, and World Communion Sunday specifically. Remind people to write first names and ages on the back of each illustration, to be written below the illustrations when they are used on the bulletin covers.
