Community Church

The prophet Isaiah describes the coming of a year of Jubilee. It’s not certain that the year of Jubilee was ever actually celebrated. Every seventh year was to be a year in which the land was allowed to lie fallow and recover and every 70th year was to be a year of Jubilee, a time when land was restored and debts forgiven. When John the Baptist appears from the wilderness, he declares the year of Jubilee and works to bring it about.

As Christmas approaches, believers are reminded that Jesus taught his first followers how to live in Jubilee and do so even today. Community Church will look at the implications of this Sunday.

Those who need a little joy, love, or celebration are invited to Community Church’s Sunday service on Dec. 17 and the Christmas Eve service on Dec. 24 at 9:50 a.m. that will include a living nativity. Leisure World Korean Community Church has extended a invitation to all to come and enjoy the concert that will be presented in the Community Church Sanctuary on Saturday, Dec. 16, at 3 p.m.

Community Church’s Sunday services are at 9:50 a.m., followed by fellowship and light refreshments. Come early for a cup of coffee in the narthex. The church is located inside Leisure World at 14000 Church Place. People may watch services live on Facebook, @CommunityChurchLeisureWorld, and on Zoom. 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.
