Worship
This is Thanksgiving and Worldwide Communion. We
all know what Thanksgiving is about (or do we?). But what about World
Communion? In much of the Protestant tradition, Communion or the Lord’s
Supper is not celebrated every Sunday as it is in some traditions. The
minister of a Presbyterian Church in the US started a movement to have the
different Protestant churches in his community come to the Table together, if
not in the same place, at least at the same time or same day. This idea
spread, so we can know that as we gather on Sunday, others will have and will
be gathering at the Table. This link gives a brief history and reflection
on World Communion. http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/faith-and-values/civil-religion/christopher-keating/world-communion-sunday-draws-christians-to-one-table-one-bread/article_9592d7a0-eb0a-11e0-b374-001a4bcf6878.html
From the
Scriptures we will hear from the Prophets: Joel 2: 21-27 and from the Gospels:
Luke 12: 13-21
The sermon title, Ευχαριστώ, is the Greek work for Thanks
and is also the word that gives us the English word Eucharist.
Thanksgiving and Communion are closely related.
