Creative Worship: World Communion Sunday

This Sunday is World Communion Sunday. Churches throughout the world will be intentional about sharing a meal with one another. World Communion Sunday is a great opportunity to share with your youth the idea that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Here are just a few ideas of what you might try at youth group:

• Have some bread baking (either in a machine or oven) while your youth group meets
• When the bread is finished, use it for communion
• Try to have breads from other cultures
• Check out this link for more bread baking ideas
• Read testimonies or prayers from missionaries working abroad.
• Read prayers from these missionaries. Here's a good resource: globalministries.org/prayer/
• After each prayer is read, light a candle and place it on a world map
• Read the parable of the mustard seed, the lectionary reading for this Sunday, and discuss how we can each make a difference in the world
• Brainstorm specific ways we can help others
• Create a prayer that focuses on the idea of world communion and reaching out to others
