October 5, 2025 (World Communion Sunday)
Beulah UMC & Oak Grove UMC
Almighty God, on this World Communion Sunday, we are even more aware of how the good news of Jesus Christ has been spread throughout the world. What started out as a spark 2,000 years ago, has become a fire of your grace that warms hearts throughout the world.
As the Apostle Paul reminded young Timothy, remind us to always rekindle our faith by allowing the burning embers of your love to take flame in our souls. May that flame lead us to pass on the good news of Jesus Christ to everyone we encounter that the Lord of love has come to me, and I want to pass it on.
As we take this time to pray for the people on our church’s prayer list, we also lift up to you the thousands and thousands of other church prayer lists throughout the world. We join the 45,000 Christian denominations in praying for people who are on our hearts and minds this day. May your healing, guiding, loving, and comforting presence be with all who have particular needs this day.
Thank you for the power of prayer and especially for the prayer that you taught your disciples that is being prayed throughout the world, not only on this World Communion Sunday, but every Sunday when we gather for worship. As brothers and sisters in Christ, unite us over the many time zones as we pray together…
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
