Community Church

This week is the first Sunday of the Christian season of Lent. In years past, the season of Lent has been a time of reflection and sacrifice. Amid the pandemic, Community Church has downplayed the Lenten focus on mortality and have instead focused on the transformative power of God in the life of a believer.

This year, the Lenten series is titled “From Ashes to Glory” and Community Church will look at “Children as the Hands of a Loving God.”

The Church will also offer a Lenten Study on Wednesdays beginning March 1, using Max Lucado’s new book, “In the Footsteps of the Savior.”

Community Church will present the Long Beach City College Orchestra, featuring its own pianist, Hannah Yi, on March 5 at 3 p.m. The concert is free, but donations will gladly be accepted.

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.
