O

n Sunday, October 6, we will join Christians around the world in celebrating World Communion Sunday. On this occasion in worship, we pay special attention to our oneness in Christ with all who gather to partake in this meal. At Swarthmore Presbyterian Church this looks like worship which includes global music, liturgy led in varied languages, and breads from many cultures. It is a joyous and wonderful occasion to give thanks to Christ and to experience the beautiful diversity of Christian witness. Come, and find food for your soul.

A

s Presbyterians, we are blessed to be part of a denomination that puts a high value on expanding global witness and has a longstanding commitment of working toward peacemaking and reconciliation, especially in cultures of violence. Through the Office of Public Witness in Washington, D.C. there is direct advocacy at the national level. Through the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program, there is challenging work to look at upstream ways for ending gun violence. PCUSA World Mission partners worldwide work daily towards social justice. The Peace & Global Witness Offering, one of four annual denomination offerings, is an important source of funds for this. It also directly supports SPC efforts. 50% of the funds collected go directly to the Presbyterian Mission Agency (PMA). The 50% we keep is designated “to connect with the global witness of Christ’s peace”. To read more, follow these links: Advocacy & Social Justice | Peacemaking
