Rev. Jesse Larson led today’s service, which observed World Communion Sunday—a time to celebrate solidarity with Christians around the world. The scripture passage was John 1:35-43: Jesus calls his first disciples and invites them to "come and see." Trisha Uhrhammer presented a “moment for mission,” telling the history of World Communion Sunday and how Bethany and congregations across the globe continue to strive to serve God’s people.
Pianist Natalya Amelchenko presented several classic and contemporary musical arrangements and provided accompaniment for the hymns:
In Christ There is No East or West
Come! Live in the Light!
Let Us Break Bread Together
We Are Marching in the Light of God (Siyahamba)
