On World Wide Communion Sunday Rev. Cari decided to set the lectionary texts aside (they were about divorce!) and turned instead to John 17. This text contains Jesus’ prayer for himself, his followers, and everyone they will encounter… and is the longest prayer in the Bible.

Rev. Cari thought, “What better text on World Wide Communion Sunday than this one that includes Jesus’ hope “that they may be one” which is the motto of the United Church of Canada.

Well, the text held a few surprises for Cari, and for the rest of us. Listen to find out for yourself!
