General Announcements
No Regrets Men's Conference Saturday, February 5th. This one day conference is designed to create an environment for men to be challenged in their relationship with the Lord at home, in the workplace, and in their ministry. Sign up at community-church.com/noregrets.
What if we all started our days alone with God, reading Scripture, and responding with adoration and action? It would change everything.
As we begin a new year, we challenge you to begin a reading plan. Read Scripture Bible plan helps track your progress of the entire bible that shows you where you've been and where you are going. Download the plan HERE or download the app at readscripture.org.
Perspectives class begins Tuesday, January 18th 6:15-9pm. Perspectives will open the eyes of your heart with fresh knowledge and understanding of God's unchanging purposes and why they're relevant to your life. This 15 week study highlights a different live instructor each week. If you aren't sure - show up and check it out, the first night is FREE! Don't let finances stop you from signing up. Financial assistance is available. Please contact Deb Houts at
dhoutsie34@yahoo.com or the church office if interested in financial assistance. Sign up at perspectives.org.
We have a few Community Church Back Together Better Together t-shirts left. Sizes are limited but we do have many kids sizes available. If you were not able to get a shirt during the original order, please stop by the table in the lobby.
Equipping Your Teens For the Future. Maggie Frank will be leading an event at River Valley Church on Saturday, January 15th 9:00-11:00am. The world speaks volumes to our children and teens on a daily basis, with much of its message being contrary to the Bible. How do we as parents respond to this? This time together will bring up those topics that our children are faced with and encourage you to have real, purposeful, scripture-focused conversations with the children and teens in your life. You will be encouraged to have really hard talks that we’d rather avoid having altogether but are so needed. We look forward to encouraging you as a parent or as an adult who has influence in a youth’s life. Please, no children or teens at the event.
Community Kids would like to make fleece tie blankets and donate for a service project. They are looking for donations to JoAnn Fabrics to purchase supplies. If you would like to donate cash or a gift card, please drop off at the Community Kids desk or see Ms. Wendy.
Oshkosh Area Community Pantry is seeking volunteer drivers who are passionate about serving others. The driver would be picking up fresh fruit, vegetables, and nonperishable items from local grocery stores and bringing them to the Oshkosh Area Community Pantry. Routes are all located in the Oshkosh and Southern Winnebago County area. CLICK HERE for more information.
