World Communion Sunday calls us to celebrate our unity as the global body of Christ. It's a great opportunity to celebrate that what unites us as Christians is greater than what divides us denominationally.

These three contemporary prayers—

an special thematic prayer,
an opening prayer, and
a prayer of confession
—are designed to help your congregation experience that unity. Written by Lisa Ann Moss Degrenia, these prayers are free to use and adapt for your worship service.
