World Communion Sunday is an opportunity to come together with Christians from different denominations and nations to share communion. In addition to coming to Christ’s table, we also take up a special offering to provide scholarships for national and international graduate students whom God has gifted to learn and to serve. Please designate your gift towards these scholarships as World Communion Sunday when you give your offering.
