General Announcements

Community Church is partnering with The Family for the annual Help for the Homeless Hygiene Drive. They work with area homeless coalitions every spring to stock the shelves of 90+ homeless and crisis programs in 19 Wisconsin communities. The goal of ‘Help for the Homeless’ is to supply a year’s worth of products to each agency. In the Oshkosh area we are collecting for: ADVOCAP Homeless Program, Day by Day Warming Shelter, Father Carr’s Place 2B and The Salvation Army of Oshkosh.
Please drop off any donations in the Community Church lobby now - through March 6th. For a list of supplies needed go to community-church.com/help.

We as a church are blessed to be able to offer Community Kids Unlimited, our Special Needs Ministry. We have an adapted classroom setting within our children’s ministry, in which, we have sensory spaces, adapted curriculum, and dedicated volunteers ready to help your child thrive and grow in God’s love. We are ready to welcome you and your child into our church family! Join us Sundays at 11am. For additional information or if you have questions, please contact Wendy at wendyls@community-church.com.
