Prepare for World Communion Sunday and Peace and Global Witness Offering
World Communion Sunday is October 3. As we work to share Christ’s peace with one another, let’s share that peace with those beyond our doors, beyond our communities, and beyond our borders. The Peace & Global Witness Offering provides the tools and resources for us as we join together as active peacemakers — at all times, in all ways.
