Community Church

This is the fifth week of Lent, which means next Sunday is Palm Sunday, and Easter is just around the corner. Community Church will hold a Maundy Thursday meal and worship on April 6.

The passage from John’s Gospel this week is the story of Lazarus, with a focus on the work of Jesus, who, despite persecution, returns to the village of Bethany where the people had just tried to stone Jesus. The disciples decide that they will go with Jesus even though they think it will mean that they are stoned too.

As people go through life, there are many challenges that they must face and overcome if they are going to keep moving forward.

The Bowl and a Roll Lenten Study on Wednesdays at 11 a.m. offers hot soup and a video look at the geography of the Holy Land through Max Lucado’s new book “In the Footsteps of the Savior.” No need to have attended the first session.

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.
