The first Sunday in October designated as World Communion Sunday grew
out of a Presbyterian Church USA custom begun in 1936, when the Fall
Communion Sunday (one of the 2-4 celebrations of the Lord's Supper in
the year at the time) was defined as World Wide Communion Sunday. This
American Protestant "feast day" still has a remarkably popular career
in several denominations. I would like to collect examples of how the
day is celebrated: customs, themes, propers, etc. Any and all bits of
information will be appreciated
