Community Church

This week, Community Church will look at a rather ominous passage from Luke 21:25-36. It is a description of an apocalypse—the breaking in of the kingdom of God. It sounds awful, and it sounds like something that’s already happened. The world has been living in a time of unprecedented change and transformation such that the description of the apocalypse in Luke’s Gospel may sound easier than vaccines, masks and COVID.

This week will be the first of four weeks in a season of preparation for the birth of Christ. That experience, the experience of living for that which is greater than yourself, is part of the process of breaking in the Kingdom of God and the call for followers of Jesus. At times it seems scary, but then, as believers lean into the change and transformation, it becomes a new normal. Perhaps the pandemic is teaching everyone that there is no such thing as normal. Imagine how freeing that realization can be.

In an effort to make in-person worship safer, Community Church has installed a new heating and air system with filtration and rapid air exchange. The church continues to ask that people who attend in-person be vaccinated and masked.
