Community Church
Knowing that Christmas is not always a joyful time, Community Church is offering a “Blue Christmas” service that includes special music on Wednesday, Dec. 21, at 10 a.m. The service is open to anyone who is feeling the sting of loss or loneliness over the holiday season.
The Meditation Garden and Prayer Chapel on the property are open at all times to anyone seeking a peaceful place of reflection and meditation.
Community Church continues to unpack and unravel some of the traditions around Christmas this week. On Sunday, Dec. 18, at 9:50 a.m., the church will look at two passages from the gospels of Matthew and Luke. In these passages, divine words are shared with Mary and Joseph that answer the question that is often sung about at this time: “Mary, did you know?” And the answer is yes, Mary knew.
The word Gospel means “good news,” and Community Church’s mission is to spread the good news, both in person and online.
When believers is to learn to accept and embrace God’s love for each person as they are, they are released from hidden burdens and can share that love with others.
As a faith community in Leisure World, Community Church continues to celebrate its 60-year history and the legacies of those who founded and grew the church. While the future remains a mystery, the members of Community Church are dedicated to celebrating each day that is given to them. All are welcome to join the church.
Entrances to the church may be found both at the front of the church and by the pedestrian gate near the shopping center.
The church no longer requires proof of vaccination in the sanctuary, however it asks people to wear masks during the Christmas season.
Community Church also offers virtual worship on Zoom and Facebook for those who cannot attend in person. Those who want more information about Community Church or are in need without another way to address it may call the church office at 562-4312503. The call will be returned as soon as possible.
