Read 1 Corinthians 10:16-17.
On the Christian calendar, today is “World Communion Sunday.” We come to the table of our Lord, thinking about our brothers and sisters in other lands who are also sharing in this meal. I invite you to pray for them sometime today. If you have a globe or map somewhere, use that. Otherwise, find a worldwide map on your computer. Place your hands or just a finger on a particular country or continent and pray for the Christians there, then move to other lands. Give thanks to God for those serving our shared mission in that place. Pray that they have the wisdom and courage they need to face any challenges they have.
I invite you to especially pray for the Christians in the countries to which Christ Church relates in missionary outreach: for Fred and Libby Dearing and all the people they relate to in South Sudan and Uganda; Kayla Austin, who serves Project 541 in Honduras; for Ray Zirkel and all of our partners in Costa Rica; for our connections in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
As you receive the meal of our Lord today, hold in mind and celebrate our Church family around the world. We thank God for them!
Personal Worship Option:
Offer a prayer of thanksgiving for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world who continue to share the message and love of our Lord.
