WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY 10/6, 11 AM: HYMNS & LITURGY FROM FIVE CONTINENTS!

  • Bethesda Presbyterian Church 7611 Clarendon Road Bethesda United States (map)

Here's World Communion Sunday's Bulletin.

In 1974, the Rev. Nancy Clark became the second woman ordained to be a pastor by National Capital Presbytery.

In 1981, she began specializing in interim ministry and was interim here at Bethesda, 1996-97; her husband Paul sang in the choir.

Nancy "retired" in 2012 after serving 17 interims. She continues to serve in many ways throughout the presbytery. For several years, she and Rev. Chuck served together on the Care Team for pastors.

This World Communion Sunday, Nancy brings hymns and liturgy from Puerto Rico (where she served as a mission worker), Mexico, Germany, Nigeria, New Zealand, and Japan! She also offers new hymn lyrics she has written.to two familiar compositions.

Rev. Chuck will be serving as liturgist and will be co-officiating Communion with Rev. Nancy this Sunday.

Come worship with us at 11 am this Sunday! And linger after for an hour as we hear from Seminary-for-a-Day participants: what they learned from current scholarship about ecojustice, racism and reconciliation, and the face of Jesus in other faiths. We will gather with food & coffee around the Fellowship Hall sofas for this dialogue.
