Community Church

This week, Community Church is looking at two passages of Scripture that talk about preparation. The words of the prophet Malachi talk of a refiner’s fire. One of the first steps a blacksmith will do is take a rusted scrap metal and melt it down to remove the impurities. The removal of impurities is something that the church has always struggled with. Jesus even instructs believers to remove the log from their own eye before worrying about the speck in a neighbor’s eye. That, of course, is not always the way of humanity. The notion of purity has also been used as a litmus test of who is acceptable and who is not, rather than as it is described in Malachi and the Gospel of Luke.

Join Community Church this Sunday, Dec. 5, for the second week of Advent as the church continues to look at purity, refinement and what that has to do with soil.

The church has installed a new heating and air system with filtration and rapid air exchange to make in-person worship safer. People are asked to continue to wear masks to attend in-person worship.

People can watch the worship service at home on Facebook @ communitychurchleisureworld.
