Community Church

On Sunday, July 13, Community Church’s resident pianist Hannah Yi will perform a double piano concert titled “Key Conversations” with fellow pianist Susan Kim-Pedroza. The performance will feature music by Anderson and Roe, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, and more, played on two pianos simultaneously. The musicians will use the church’s legacy Yamaha grand piano, and the newlydonated Baldwin grand piano—courtesy of Will Mulcahy and the Mulcahy family, in memory of their mother, Judy Mulcahy.

Recently Pastor Johan Dodge shared with the congregation these truths: The holocaust was legal—hiding Jews was criminalized. Slavery was legal—freeing slaves was criminalized. Segregation was legal—protesting segregation was criminalized. Legality isn’t a guide to morality.

This week, as a nation, people will celebrate the country’s independence from the Crown of England. Community Church encourages believers to observe the rules that they follow and the rules that, as followers of Jesus, they are no longer meant to follow.

The sermon for the week of July 6 will be titled “What Guides You?” Those who are looking for a place to belong, a place to feel less lonely, are welcome to join.The people at Community Church are focused on the “kin-dom,” building community, and living God’s love. Those who are experiencing hate or bitterness either in their own heart toward themselves or others, could benefit from community.

All are invited to become a part of the community, turning away from hatred, bigotry, sexism and homophobia. All are welcome who are welcoming to all.

Coffee with the Pastor is Thursdays at 10 a.m. at the church. All are welcome to take this opportunity for a low-key introduction to Pastor Johan Dodge and church members. Community Church holds a Sunday worship service at 9:50 a.m at 14000 Church Place, near the St. Andrews Gate.
