Community Church
By Johan Dodge
Reverend
Palm Sunday this year will be on March 28. It is when we will celebrate Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem not in a chariot pulled by war horses with a legion of soldiers at his side, but rather on a donkey, the prophetic sign that God was and is doing something new. In many ways, we are still in the Epiphany, which was on Jan. 6 this year. We are still learning what it means to live by God’s way instead of our own way.
This week, we are given an example of how different God’s way is from ours as Jesus choses his first disciples–not from the graduates of the rabbinical school, but rather from the rabbinical school dropouts who have already gone back to work with their fathers. Jesus calls these fishermen with the simple words “Come and see.” Come and see are the words I long to share. Come and see what God is doing in our midst. But for now, the invitation to come and see is still virtual in Leisure World as Community Church and the rest of the communityl, is doing its best to not contribute to the spread of the virus.
Join Community Church on Sundays for worship at 9:50 a.m. by tuning in to the Facebook live service @ communitychurchleisureworld.
Those who want to join the virtual fellowship need to call the church office or email leisurewccsue@ yahoo.com.
Those who don’t have a computer or Facebook can call (562) 431-2503 and listen to the weekly message beginning Sunday evening.
As always, if you are in need without another way to address it, call the church office to leave a direct message at (562) 431-2503.
