World Communion Sunday
 

World Communion Sunday is a day when Christians around the world come together to partake in the Lord’s Supper. It’s a powerful reminder of our global unity as members of the body of Christ.

In addition to sharing in the Sacrament of Communion, we have a joyous moment to bless the covenant between CCC and our newly appointed Executive Pastor, Rev. Aubra Love. This covenant symbolizes our commitment to walk together in faith, service, and love as we continue our journey as a vibrant faith community.

But that’s not all! We have an incredible musical treat in store for you. Mary Scott and a talented jazz ensemble will fill our sanctuary with soul-stirring song, making this a World Communion Sunday to remember.

Please join us as we break bread together, bless this special covenant, and revel in the beauty of music that transcends borders. Let us come together in unity, celebrating the richness of our faith and the strength of our community

“Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.”

You’re invited to join us this Sunday for a service that will warm your heart and inspire your spirit. In these challenging times, we seek the Divine’s light to guide us.

Our scripture readings celebrate the magnificent lights in the heavens, reminding us of the enduring love of the Divine. The music, including “Kol Nidre” performed by Abe Laufer on the cello, will elevate our souls.

During the service, we’ll present Bibles to our young members, illuminating their hearts and minds on their faith journey.

During worship, we will explore the enduring symbolism of the North Star—a beacon of light, hope, and constancy. Together, we’ll reflect on our personal journeys and the vital role of our faith community as a guiding light in challenging times. Through personal sharing and empathetic listening, we’ll renew our commitment to being a source of hope and guidance, and ask for the Spirit’s direction as we chart our course on a new quest of renewal. We invite you to share personal stories or experiences about a time when you felt guided or found hope during challenging times. You may wish to speak about a personal journey, a moment of inspiration, or an acts of kindness within the community.


After Worship: Listening and Learning

Following our inspiring Embrace Liturgy, we invite you to a special Listening and Learning Session. This gathering will be an opportunity to delve deeper into the quest for renewal within our faith community. We’ll tell you all about Marc Kolp and Angie Dabbs from Boomerang Consultant Group, who will navigate us through part of the journey. The work with Boomerang is mobilizing this week. More information to come! Your voice and presence are invaluable. We hope you can join us.

Discover the beauty of worshiping in community! This Sunday, 9/17, at 10:30am, our service will be filled with inspiration and music that we hope will touch your soul.

During our service, we’ll offer a special blessing for backpacks, briefcases, and the new season of learning and growth they represent. It’s a reminder that every moment and opportunity is worthy of God’s blessing. Please bring a backpack, briefcase, purse, or murse if you want to take part.

In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, we’ll engage with the tapestry of Spanish-language congregational songs. These melodies and texts hold deep meaning and speak to the incarnation of Christ for all people. We’ll sing “Pues si vivimos” (In All Our Living), celebrating the shalom and healing love that Christ brings to our lives. We’ll also have a special prayer based on the writings of Ada María Isasi-Díaz, a pioneer of Mujerista Theology. This prayer will guide us to embrace the interconnectedness of all people and issues, reaffirming our commitment to co-create a just world.

Join us in celebrating faith, diversity, and community. We look forward to sharing this special moment with you and your family!
