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,  new to Community Groups, or looking for 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.

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 availability to watch Community Church service each week. Please contact Kim at kimp@community-church.com. THANK YOU!
