General Announcements

Garden Sign-up is open until May 31st! Get your 2020 community garden plot at community-church.com/garden.  Gardening together will be a great way to enjoy being outside together once COVID-19 has passed!

Looking for something cheerful, tasty, or for an extra science lesson to do with your kids at home? Maybe you'd like a little more color in your life? The Community Garden Group has got you covered! We are offering Plant Your Own Mini Garden kits! These kits come as a 3 pack or 6 pack of pots with options of growing your own herbs or flowers for the summer. This is a fundraiser to help the Community Garden Group with a few upkeep projects on the community garden. Kits can be ordered at community-church.com/gardenkits, and will be delivered May 20th and 21st. Happy Growing!  

Would you be interested in joining an online Community Group?  This will be a temporary, casual way for us to fellowship and encourage one another during this time of isolation. Maybe you are new to the church, maybe you are new to Community Groups, maybe you just need a group to fellowship with! Whatever your reason is, we want you to join us! If you are interested, please contact Kim Patterson at kimp@community-church.com.

On Thursday, May 7, 2020 in Oshkosh and communities across America, millions will unite at noon for the 69th Annual National Day of Prayer. Pray for our local, state & national leaders; public officials; schools & school leaders; military; and our nation. For more information click here.
Pastor Alan will be leading Community Church in prayer at noon on May 7th. Please sign up to join this private zoom call. We will contact you with a link prior to the event to join at noon May 7th. Advance registration is required so we can contact you with a link to join.  Sign up at community-church.com/nationalprayerday.

Our Community Church family has some individuals who are not able to view our Sunday services.  We are looking for 'not too old' ipad, notebook, kindle or devices, that you would be willing to donate to someone that doesn't have one. This would give them the ability to watch Community Church service each week. Please contact Kim at kimp@community-church.com. THANK YOU!

As a staff, we are praying for you and are searching for ways to encourage you. We know that each person is currently at risk for COVID 19 and we pray protection over you, but we realize some are at higher risk than others.  If someone you know is a high-risk case, would you let us know so we can pray for them by name?  If you have heard of someone experiencing job loss due to the current pandemic, please let us know. You can send these names to kimp@community-church.com.

Community Church has a Prayer Ministry. As we receive prayer requests from our church family, these requests are shared with the Prayer Team. If you are interested in participating or have a request to share, please email Kim at kimp@community-church.com.
