Community Church

The Community Church Missions Team will host another drive through food drive on Thursday, May 18, from 10 a.m.-noon in the parking spaces in front of the church. People are asked to bring cans or nonperishable food items for the event. On the day of the event, a Missions Team member will greet people at their vehicles to receive food donations. People may also drop off items at the church office during the week.

Before it was highly commercialized, Mother’s Day began as a celebration created by Anna Jarvis to honor her own mother back in 1908 at a Methodist Church in West Virginia. The tradition was to give a carnation and a handwritten letter to celebrate mothers. This Sunday, May 14, following service, Community Church will honor mothers and mother figures in the Fellowship Hall.

Pastor Johan Dodge was away this past weekend but is back and will give a sermon titled “Do Not Fear What They Fear.” Those who have felt fear controlling life recently are encouraged to come and listen to the sermon.

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 @Community-ChurchLeisureWorld.

People can contact the church office to receive the Zoom link. The in-person Sunday service is followed by food and fellowship.

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