Amen. World Communion Sunday October 7, 2018 A SPECIAL WELCOME to the Rev. Perline Cooper, an ordained pastor for 38 years in the Church of Jesus Christ in Madagascar (FJKM). Rev. Cooper has served as head of the Sunday School for the FJKM for 18 years, taught Biblical Hebrew at one of the FJKM s seminaries for 13 years, served as Vice President of the FJKM for 4 years and headed up the FJKM AIDS Program for 5 years. She currently oversees the ministry of 3 Malagasy congregations in North America Montreal, Ottawa and New York City. PREPARE FOR WORSHIP Christ, the one who fills all in all, may be precisely the one who empowers people with hope to stand against false rulers and unjust powers. Our resistance is not resistance to the reign of Christ but resistance with and because of the reign of Christ. Christ in glory promises that even when the prospects for peace and justice seem dim, God s commitment to the least of these is sure and will finally prevail.
