World Communion - 2005

World Communion Sunday 2005 saw our first application of newly installed devices to elevate banners and other art creations above the Table in our chancel. This will open many interesting design opportunites! Our first creation was a World Communion tapestry. During Vacation Church School in the summer we created fabic images of youth attending the event. The cut-outs were fastened to a white runner symbolizing service and oneness in Christ through the different different fabic treatments. World Communion Sunday (originally called World Wide Communion Sunday) originated in the Presbyterian Church (USA). Celebrated the first time in 1936, the first Sunday in October was set aside by Presbyterian churches in the United States and overseas to focus on our oneness in Christ across the world. From the beginning, it was hoped that other denominations would make use of this special time. After a few years the idea spread beyond the Presbyterian Church.
