Community Church

This Sunday, April 2, is Palm Sunday. It’s is a great time for people who have never been to church to come for the first time. It’s not quite as busy as Easter—which is next week, but it’s also a special event. Palm Sunday celebrates the triumphal entry of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem.

If people were to place themselves in the story in the scripture passage in Matthew’s Gospel, they are the donkey that carries Jesus into the world. Now, there are different ways to carry Jesus and the history of the church has included many ways that were less than helpful, and Community Church will look at some of those ways even as it look at how it can bring the light and love of God into the community today.

The Bowl and a Roll Lenten Study on Wednesdays at 11 a.m. offers hot soup and a video look at the geography of the Holy Land through Max Lucado’s new book “In the Footsteps of the Savior.” No need to have attended the first session.

As always, the word Gospel means “good news” and those who are in need of some good news are welcome to join the service on Sundays at 9:50 a.m. in person or online on Zoom and on Facebook at @CommunityChurchLeisureWorld. People can contact the church office to receive the Zoom link.

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