World Communion Sunday calls the church to reach out to all people and model diversity among God’s children. The special offering supports World Communion Scholarships, the Ethnic Scholarship Program and the Ethnic In-Service Training Program. We give on the first Sunday in October. The offering provides scholarships for gifted and qualified people around the globe. Our gifts are a blessing to individuals who face financial obstacles while preparing for the vocation God has given them. World Communion Sunday can be especially impactful for ethnic students who will be the first generation in their families to attend college, or for those people of color who haven’t historically had access to resources that make higher education possible.
