World Communion Sunday October 2, 2011

World Communion Sunday – celebrated the first Sunday in October – is one of the most venerable of special Sundays. The day has taken on new relevancy and depth of meaning in a time when fear divides the peoples of God's earth. On this day we celebrate our oneness in Christ, the Prince of Peace, in the midst of the world we are called to serve – a world ever more in need of peacemaking.North Carolina Council of Churches

World Communion Sunday is a time to be in communion with Christians all over the world and to enable us to "press on toward the goal" of serving God in life-changing ministries. Overview from the United Methodist Church

What to do

Call your U.S. Representative and urge them not to accept the Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill without amendments that:
1. Protect vulnerable populations by restoring or preserving funding for food assistance, healthcare, housing, education, and childcare.
2. Avoid placing new, unfunded administrative burdens on states and nonprofits.
3. Retain programs that are essential to local jobs, services, and economic resilience in communities across your district, including Inflation Reduction Act funding.
Reach out to local officials to speak about the economic harm involved, and ask them to speak out against provisions that harm your nonprofit as an employer and contributor to the local economy.
Mobilize your network to do the same. Every voice counts!
