Community Church
By Johan Dodge
Reverend
At Community Church, we are changing things up! This Sunday will be the last Sunday of this Christian year. The Christian calendar doesn’t follow the Roman calendar; it begins with the season of Advent, the preparation for the birth of Jesus at Christmas.
Our theme for next year is “Carved by Love: A year of Good News” so it is fitting that we end the year by looking at what Jesus taught about blessings. Who are those who are blessed now and in the coming Kingdom? We’ll look at those questions this week as we conclude this Christian year.
To hear this teaching as well as worship music, tune in Sunday morning at 9:50 on Facebook live @communitychurchleisureworld. To join virtual fellowship, call the church office or email leisurewccsue@yahoo.com. If you don’t have a computer or Facebook, call (562) 431-2503 and listen to the weekly message beginning Sunday evening Community Church will offer Communion at 1 p.m. outside in front of the church. The elements are pre-sealed for safety and the liturgy is part of the morning worship on Facebook. Those who come to receive Communion must wear a mask and maintain distancing.
As always, if you are in need without another way to address it, call the church office at (562) 431-2503.
The Missions Team is sponsoring the annual “Sock it to Em” sock drive for Veterans. Donations of new white men’s or women’s socks (or monetary donations) will begin on Nov. 2. The church office will be open Monday - Thursday from 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Contact the church office at (562) 431-2503 to have the donation picked up.
