We hope you have been having a fantastic week. This Sunday we dive into the subject of prayer!
This summer we begin a fresh new journey into the contours of prayer-the basic way we relate to God. Despite all of its mysteries, the invitation to prayer is God's reminder that he always wants us to come to him!
There is so much happening at Community Covenant Church this summer, and we'd love for you to be part of it. Take a look at the opportunities below and join us as we worship the God who faithfully leads, guides, and transforms His people.

Kids in for Musical Worship all Summer!
As we head into the summer season, we're excited for a special opportunity for our kids and families to worship together as a church community. As a reminder, Kids Check-In has moved to the Welcome Tent for the summer, and our kids will join the congregation for musical worship before heading to their classes.
We love creating space for the next generation to see and experience the church worshipping together-singing, praying, and gathering as one family in Christ. We believe these moments help shape and disciple our kids as they learn what it means to follow Jesus alongside the larger church community.
Exploring the Christian Heritage Tour | This Fall
If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late to join us for our exciting tour of Scotland and England this fall-with an optional extension to Ireland!
If you have signed up, it's time to sign up for the special lessons that Pastor Erics will lead explaining the history behind some of the sites we will be visiting. Everyone is invited to attend these sessions but they will be especially meaningful for those on the tour.
Together we'll explore breathtaking landscapes, historic cities, and many of the places that played a significant role in our Christian heritage. New details and special tour opportunities are still being added, making this the perfect time to reserve your spot.
Come travel with friends, deepen your appreciation of Christian history, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Sign up today!
Are you new to Community Covenant Church or interested in learning more about who we are? Join us this Sunday for Explore CCC, a relaxed and informative gathering designed to help you get to know our church family.
Over coffee and treats, we'll share the story of Community Covenant Church, introduce our staff and ministry leaders, give a brief campus tour, and talk about our ministries, mission, and our connection to the Evangelical Covenant Church. You'll also have an opportunity to ask questions and learn about next steps, including church membership.
Whether you've been attending for a few weeks or a few months, (even years ? ) this is a great opportunity to discover what God is doing at CCC and how you can get connected.
No pressure, no commitment-just a chance to learn more. We hope you'll join us!

This memorial service will be a meaningful time to reflect, give thanks for Paul's life, and support one another as we celebrate a wonderful member of our church family.

Take the Next Step: Baptism at Goleta Beach
Have you been thinking about getting baptized?
Baptism is one of the most meaningful ways we publicly identify with Jesus Christ. It's a celebration of God's grace, a declaration of faith, and a powerful step of obedience as we follow Him.
On Sunday, August 2nd, our church family will gather at Goleta Beach for a special afternoon of baptisms, celebration, and a beach BBQ potluck. We are looking forward to rejoicing together as people share their stories and publicly declare their faith in Christ.
If you are considering baptism, we invite you to attend our Baptism Class on Sunday, July 19th, immediately following worship. This class is designed to help you understand the meaning and significance of baptism, answer any questions you may have, and help you discern whether this is the right next step in your faith journey.
If you're interested in learning more, simply fill out a Connect Card and write "I want to get baptized." One of our pastors will reach out and help you take the next steps.
We would be honored to walk alongside you as you take this important step of faith.
Yes, we moved from Tuesday to Thursday and yes, there will be popcorn and yes, it is still free! We will be showing Sound of Hope: Story of Possum Trot at 1pm in the Youth Room. Inspired by the powerful true story, the movie follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in the foster system that nobody else would take. By doing the impossible-adopting 77 children-this East Texas community proved that, with real, determined love, the battle for America's most vulnerable can be won.
? You Don't Have to Carry It Alone ?
Life can be beautiful, but it can also be heavy. Whether you're celebrating an answered prayer, facing a difficult season, carrying a burden, or simply needing encouragement, we want you to know that you are not alone.
At Community Covenant Church, we believe God hears prayer and that something powerful happens when God's people pray for one another.
Our Prayer Team is available after every service and would be honored to pray with you-whether your request feels big, small, or somewhere in between. No judgment. No pressure. Just people who care and want to seek God alongside you.
Can't stay after service? You can also submit a prayer request using the Prayer Request Tool below. Every request is received with care, prayed over faithfully, and treated with appropriate confidentiality.
Whatever you're carrying today, don't carry it by yourself. Let us pray with you.
