Community Church

It’s not too late to join Community Church for its two upcoming events. The Valentine’s Day luncheon for cancer survivors will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 14 at noon. People can contact Taylor White at 562208-3359 to RSVP by Friday, Feb. 10.

The church’s Souper Bowl event will be held on Sunday, Feb. 12. People are asked to bring in canned soup or nonperishable food items to the Sunday worship service or drop off at the church office this week. Bins will be marked “Eagles” or “Chiefs” so people can drop the food items into their favorite team’s bin. Food will be donated to local food banks Choose your own adventure books were very popular back in the day. Every few pages, the reader would be presented with a choice that would make them turn to a different page. Readers would be taken through different storylines and might even skip some storylines or outcomes entirely. Two people could read the same book and get a different ending.

In Community Church’s study of Deuteronomy this week, the writer presents a choice: life and prosperity or death and adversity. People naturally want to choose life and prosperity but can people know their choices will lead to life and prosperity rather than death and adversity? This question and its answers will be reflected on in Community Church’s joy filled community this Sunday, Feb. 12, at 9:50 a.m. All are welcome.

As always, the word Gospel means “good news” and those who are in need of some good news are welcome to join the service in person or online on Zoom and on Facebook at @ CommunityChurchLeisure-World. Contact the church office for the Zoom link.

Those who are in need without another way to address it can call the church office to leave a message at 562-431-2503.

Community Church Missions Team members Mara Williams (l-r), Pastor Johan Dodge, Kelly Frankiewicz, Peggy Coles, Virginia Olejnik, and Missions Team Chair Joyce Reed are ready to collect donations for the church's annual "Souper Bowl Sunday" event.
