The children learned about other children in need around the world, and how UNICEF and UMCOR helps. They will be trick or treating for UNICEF.
Teaching the younger children about mission is also very important and necessary. It teaches them at a young age how to serve others.
A Prayer for World Communion Sunday
Jesus prayed that we might be one.
One in spirit
One in mission
In union and communion with each other and with You.
Today, God, we confess fumblings and failures in accomplishing unity, as we set aside yet another day to remind ourselves of the task.
On this World Communion Sunday, give us eyes to recognize your reflection in the eyes of Christians everywhere.
Give us a mind to accept and celebrate our differences.
Give us a heart big enough to love your children everywhere.
We thank you for setting a table with space enough for us all! Amen.
(From the Africana Worship Book)
