Welcome to another wonderful week at Community Covenant Church-and another special Sunday to be together for worship and communion!
Our worship this week culminates with the Lord's Supper. How do you prepare yourself for the Lord's Supper? How will youprepare yourself the Lord's Supper? As 1 Thessalonians 2.13 says, it "is indeed at work in you who believe."
There's so much happening here at Community Covenant-and we're excited to see how God continues to move among us. Check out the updates below to stay connected and see how you can get involved.

? Women's Bible Study is up and running
This week we launched a 10-week study through 1 & 2 Thessalonians, and the response has been amazing. This is a very practical, hope-filled study that explores questions many of us wrestle with, like: How can I be sure of my purpose? How can I know I'm truly loved? How can I live with confidence in God's approval?
If you missed the first week, no worries-you're still very welcome to join.
Groups meet on Monday evenings at 6:30pm or Wednesday mornings at 10:00am. Whether you're brand new to Bible study or have been following Jesus for years, this is a welcoming space to grow deeper in faith, build meaningful friendships, and study God's Word together.
Have questions or want to jump in? Fill out a Connect Card or stop by the Welcome Tent after the service-we'd love to help you get connected.

Every Man's Battle
A Rally for Men on the Central Coast
Men of Community Covenant-you're invited to be part of a powerful night of connection, worship, and hope.
Every Man's Battle is coming to the Santa Maria Speedway for an unforgettable evening featuring racing, live worship, testimony, and a message of hope with Fred Stoeker. This event brings men together from churches across the Central Coast for Kingdom-building, unity, and encouragement.
This is not racing with a spiritual add-on. Influencers (Journey) is renting the venue and hosting the entire night with one clear purpose: to minister to men and point them toward freedom, truth, and hope in Christ.
? Saturday, February 7, 2026
⏰ 4:00-8:00 PM
? Santa Maria Speedway
Bring your sons, brothers, friends, and men's groups-this is a rally for every church on the Central Coast.
? Register today (see link below)
Questions? Please stop by the Welcome Booth for more information.
Let's show up together and take part in what God is doing among men on the Central Coast.
Our church has Community in its name on purpose-we truly desire to be a community of people centered on Jesus. If you're interested in learning more about our church and what it means to become a member, join us after service on February 22 and March 1 for our two-week New Members Class.
There's no obligation to become a member, but these two sessions are required if you would like to do so. A good lunch and great conversation are part of the experience!
Explore the Christian Heritage of England and Scotland!
Did you know that much of American Christianity was shaped by historic events in England and Scotland? This fall, Pastor Eric will be hosting a Christian heritage tour of key sites in both countries-and you're invited!
With 2026 marking the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale's English translation of the New Testament, this is a particularly meaningful time to go.
Last week, Pastor Eric hosted an informational meeting about the tour and will be offering another one in the near future. In the meantime, you can learn more by clicking the links below.
Do you enjoy reading and discussing ideas with others? Interested in what thoughtful Christian authors have to say about the life of faith?
Join the Community Covenant Book Club, which meets at 3:00 PM on the last Wednesday of every month in the Media Room at the church. Our next meeting is February 25, and we'll be reading and discussing In His Image by Jen Wilkin.
The Book Club is open to all. For more information, contact Jean Marie Schultz at jean_schultz@ucsb.edu
? Need Prayer? We've Got You Covered! ?
Feeling overwhelmed or in need of extra support? We're here for you. Our prayer team would be honored to pray with you after the service-whether you're facing something big or simply need encouragement.
You can also submit a request through our Prayer Request Tool (see the blue button below). Every request is handled with love, care, and compassion.
Let's connect through the power of prayer. You don't have to walk this journey alone. ??
