Community Church

Today, Nov. 2, is Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead.

It is a time to pay respects and remember loved ones who have passed away.

In the church, people remember those who have passed this past year on All Saints Day.

All Saints is an ancient tradition that gave birth to the tradition of All Hallow’s Eve—Halloween.

Today, the celebration of Halloween has become a multi-billion dollar global phenomenon while All Saints Day has become more obscure and is even down played or ignored by many Christian churches. The connection between All Hallow’s Eve and All Saints has been lost such that many churches have now become anti-Halloween. As the world is now seemingly out of the worst of the pandemic, this is the time to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve.

Community Church will observe All Saint’s Day on Sunday, Nov. 5. Candles will be lit in memory of those who have passed and loved ones will be mentioned by name.

Sunday Worship is at 9:50 a.m., followed by a time of fellowship and light refreshment. Come early for a cup of coffee in the Narthex. Community Church is located inside Leisure World at 14000 Church Place.

People may also watch services on Facebook at @CommunityChurchLeisureWorld and on Zoom. Contact the church office for the Zoom link. Those who are in need without another way to address it, may call the church office to leave a message at 562-431-2503.
