World Communion Sunday

The Communion Prayer Pastor: Jesus said: “I am the bread of life. All who come to me shall not hunger, and all who believe in me shall never be thirsty.”

People: We are hungry and thirsty. O Lamb of God, we come!

Pastor: Come, Holy Spirit. Come. Open our eyes to the mystery of Christ’s presence in these ordinary things in these our ordinary lives. May they be for us the very essence of the living Christ in our midst. Through the broken bread . . .

People: We participate in the Body of Christ with believers around the world.

Pastor: Through the cup of blessing . . .

People: We participate in the new life Christ gives and are sent to share that life with the world.

Pastor: Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here, and on these gifts of bread and wine. Make them be for us the body and blood of Christ that we, together as a new creation and a new community around the world may be for the world the body of Christ, redeemed by his blood. By your Spirit help the body of Christ be one, to bear fruit until Christ comes in final victory and we feast at his heavenly banquet. Through your Son Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in your holy church, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty God, now and forever. Amen.

Words of Institution Distribution of the Bread

(To symbolize our individual experience of God’s grace, please partake of the bread as it is served.) * The communion bread was made gluten free but not cut in a dedicated facility.

Distribution of the Cup

(To symbolize our common experience together of God’s grace, please retain the cup until all have been served.)

Unison Prayer of Thanksgiving Gracious and loving God, you have made us one in the body of Christ, and nourished us at your table with holy food and drink. Thank you for feeding our hunger and relieving our thirst. Now send us into the world to do the work you have given us to do: to find the lost and lonely, to heal broken souls, to free prisoners, and to love in Jesus’ name. Grant us strength to persevere in resisting evil, and to proclaim in all we say and do your good news in Christ Jesus our Savior.

Amen.

WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY The first Sunday in October is designated as World Communion Sunday, which celebrates our oneness in Christ with all our brothers and sisters around the world. Paul tells us that we are to “discern the body” when we partake of Holy Communion, mindful that we note our relationship to all our brothers and sisters in Christ in the celebration. Whenever we gather in worship we do so as part of a global church. Today we remember Peachtree partnerships that extend from Malawi to Costa Rica, from Cuba to Pakistan. This Sunday our communion table features a tablecloth created especially for Peachtree in honor of the partnership shared for many years between Peachtree and the Independent Presbyterian Church of Caicó, Brazil.

The hand embroidered inscription reads “Peachtree Presbyterian Church and the Independent Presbyterian Church of Caicó, Brazil, united in evangelization of the northeast Sertão.” (Sertão is a region of Brazil)

“I am the bread of life. All who come to me shall not hunger, and all who believe in me shall never be thirsty.”

TODAY IN WORSHIP

SEED PACKING EVENT

For the past year, Peachtree has been helping the community of Chitipa, Malawi, create a community garden. The seeds we pack here will go to the garden at Katatula Presbyterian Church to raise funds for bibles, clothing and basic supplies for members. In Liberia, we’re helping two elementary schools plant 50 acres of gardens. Food grown there will be used for school lunches and surplus profits will be used to purchase supplies and equipment. In all, we are preparing 40,000 seed packets to send out to children all around the world.

Through Sprout we’re cultivating the love of Christ around the globe.
