Info Meeting - This Sunday, March 8th (After Service!)
Explore the Christian Heritage of
Scotland, England & Ireland

Did you know that much of American Christianity was deeply shaped by historic events in Scotland, England and Ireland?

This fall, Pastor Eric will be hosting a Christian Heritage Tour to key sites throughout these countries - and you're encouraged to be a part of this meaningful journey.

2026 marks the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale's English translation of the New Testament, making this a uniquely significant time to visit the places that helped shape the faith we live today.

This trip will bring history to life as we explore the stories, places, and people God used in powerful ways - from the Reformation to the spread of the English Bible.

Info Meeting - This Sunday, March 8 (Following the Service)

If you're curious about the trip, we invite you to join us for this informational meeting. You'll learn about:
The vision and purpose of the tour | Key locations we'll visit | Travel details and timeline | Costs and next steps

Whether you're seriously considering going or just want to learn more, come and explore the opportunity with us!

You can also review additional details by clicking the links below.

We hope you'll join us on March 8 to learn more about this special journey.

Stories: A Night of Worship & Testimony
Sunday, March 8 | 6:00-9:00 PM

Women from churches across Santa Barbara are invited to gather for "Stories," an evening of worship and personal testimonies celebrating God's faithfulness. The night will feature several women sharing their stories, culminating with author Kathy Christopher.

Last year more than 300 women gathered for this meaningful night of encouragement and connection.

The event will be held at Shoreline Church (935 San Andres St., Santa Barbara).
This event is free, but reservations are requested.

We'd love to see the women of Community Covenant there-and it's a great opportunity to invite a friend.

Community happens best around a table.

Easter Egg Hunt Candy Fill-Up

Easter is right around the corner, and we're getting ready for one of our favorite traditions - the Community Covenant Easter Egg Hunt!

To help make it special for all of our kids, we're inviting you to stop by the Welcome Tent this Sunday and pick up a bag of empty Easter eggs.

Here's how you can help:

Take a carton of eggs home.

Fill the eggs with candy.
(Please no chocolate due to melting.)

Bring them back by March 29 (Palm Sunday).

It's a simple way our whole church can work together to create a joyful and memorable Easter celebration for the children in our community.

Let's fill those eggs and make this year's Easter Egg Hunt extra fun!

Annual Congregational Business Meeting

Sunday, March 29 | Immediately Following the Service

Church family, we invite you to join us for our Annual Congregational Business Meeting on Sunday, March 29, right after the morning service in the Worship Center.

This is an important moment in the life of our church. It's a time to reflect on what God has done, look ahead to where He is leading us, and participate in key decisions that help shape our future together.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.
If you are a member of Community Covenant Church, your participation is especially important as we will be voting in new board members as well as our annual budget.

We are grateful for the ways God continues to work in and through our church, and this gathering is one meaningful way we walk forward together in unity and purpose.

Good Friday Update

As we journey toward Easter, Good Friday invites us to slow down and stand in the tension of the cross. It's a sacred space-a moment to remember the cost of love and the depth of grace.

In past years, churches across Santa Barbara-including ours-have gathered for a shared Good Friday service. This year, that citywide gathering is taking a pause, and Community Covenant will not be hosting a Good Friday service of our own.

If you would like to attend a Good Friday service, we encourage you to join one of these neighboring churches:

• Santa Barbara Community Church - Friday at 7:00 PM
• Ocean Hills Covenant Church - Friday at 6:00 PM

Good Friday is a powerful moment in the story of our faith. Before we celebrate the joy of Easter Sunday, we pause to remember the sacrifice of Jesus and the love displayed on the cross.

Easter at Community Covenant
Sunday, April 5 | 10:00 AM | Outdoor Service

Easter is the celebration of resurrection-of hope breaking through darkness and new life rising in the name of Jesus.

Join us for a special outdoor Easter service as we gather to worship, celebrate, and remember the hope we have in the risen Christ. Whether Community Covenant has been your church home for years or you're just beginning to explore faith, there's a place for you here.

We'll have invite cards available at the Connect Table, so feel free to grab a few and invite a friend, neighbor, or family member to join you.

Let's come together with joy and anticipation as we celebrate the risen King.
