One of the special Sundays authorized by the General Conference to be observed with the taking of an offering throughout the denomination.
World Communion Sunday is observed the first Sunday in October. The observance focuses the attention of United Methodists on the universal and inclusive nature of the church.
Please join us this Sunday, October 2nd, at our 8:15, 9:30 and 11:00 am Worship Services.
At our 8:15 & 9:30 Services, Pastor Dan will be preaching the final message in our series:“Shift Happens: Embracing What God’s Got Next.” (Isaiah 43:16-19).
At our 11:00 Service, Javaid Haroon will be preaching on “We are All One in Christ.” (Galatians 3:23-29)
Sing ‘N Celebrate, Sept. 11th @ 5-6pm in the Fellowship Hall
According to an anonymous writer on the internet – “In times of turmoil and tragedy, First Responders are the people who run toward the crisis. They never ask for our gratitude, but they certainly deserve it.” We can express our appreciation for these heroes by attending this SNC where Capt. Jim Wasem of the Arlington Police Dept. will share.
We hope you can join in the fellowship over the good food of the potluck which will follow. Just bring a side dish or a dessert to share please. We are joining with the youth group, and Tim will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs.
The National Cathedral hosted the service three days after the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001. The Rev. Billy Graham preached; President George W. Bush spoke, and the Very Rev. Nathan Baxter and the Rt. Rev. Jane Holmes Dixon officiated.
