From east and west, from north and south, people will come and take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God. Yes, and some who are now last will be first, and some who are first will be last.

We come to Christ's Table aware of our human frailty and our sin. Our world has been shattered by selfish prejudice and foolish pride. We also come knowing that God's healing love can restore wholeness and welcome us home.
At Christ's Table we are made one with Christ and one with each other, and we are united with the church in every time and place. The unity of the Lord's Table is a sign of the unity God wills for all creation. From Christ's Table we can go out with joy as witnesses of God's love to work for the healing and the reconciliation of God's world.
Join Christians around the world at the celebration. Take your place at the Table this World Communion Day.
