What is A Season of Preparation?

This is the time period starting the Sunday of Labor Day weekend and leading up to the World Communion Offering on World Communion Sunday. This time allows your congregation to learn more about the sacrament of communion and is a great time to do some sacrament education for all ages in your congregation.

Sacrament Education During A Season of Preparation

We have created special resources you can use during A Season of Preparation that help deepen your congregation’s understanding of communion. This year’s resources were prepared by the Rev. Dr. Eileen Lindner, honorably retired, and the Rev. Jon Brown, pastor of Old Bergen Presbyterian Church in New Jersey.
