This Sunday, we're looking forward to another meaningful time of worship together as a church family. Whether you've been with us for years or you're brand new, you are welcome here-and we believe God has something for you this week.
We may not always know what the week holds, but we know the One who holds us. Let's come expectant, ready to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded of God's goodness.
Please read below on all that is coming up! We can't wait to see you this Sunday!
LIFE AT COMMUNITY COVENANT
? CCC Book Club - June 25th Meetup
Do you enjoy reading and discussing thought-provoking books with others? Are you curious about how great authors explore the Christian journey through storytelling?
If so, we invite you to join the Community Covenant Book Club! This new group launched last month and is already becoming a great space for conversation and connection. Our next meeting is on Wednesday, June 25th at 3:00 PM in the Media Room at church.
The Book Club is open to everyone and meets on the last Wednesday of each month.
Our first book is Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis-the first volume in his Space Trilogy. (Yes, Lewis wrote science fiction!) Copies are available on Amazon for around $1.
Please note: the day and time of future meetings may shift slightly based on group availability.
For questions or to learn more, contact Jean Marie Schultz at jean_schultz@ucsb.edu.
LADIES!
Do you need to feel refreshed-personally and spiritually? Great! Women's Ministry is offering a short summer weekly Bible study on Praying the Psalms by Juanita Ryan.
Each gathering is designed to feel like a mini-retreat-offering personal quiet time to read a Psalm, reflect on it, and create space to journal and listen for what God may be saying to you through His Word. You'll also have time to share and pray together in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
This will be a special time to take a deep breath, get to know God more deeply, encourage one another, build meaningful friendships, and pray together.
No matter where you are in your faith journey, you are welcome.
Two options to attend:
Monday evenings, 6:30-8:00 PM (June 30 - August 4)
Wednesday mornings, 10:00-11:45 AM (July 2 - August 6) Where:Media Room at CCC
The Women's Bible Study Team hopes you'll join them! Please feel free to invite a friend.
Beach Baptism and BBQ - August 17th
We're looking forward to a special day at Goleta Beach on Sunday, August 17th-right after the service-for a time of baptisms, celebration, and a bring-your-own-meat BBQ/potluck. Bring something to grill and a dish to share as we enjoy community and new life in Christ together!
If you're interested in being baptized, we'd love to hear from you! We'll be scheduling a Baptism Class later this summer, and your interest will help us plan. Reach out today so we can walk alongside you in this important step of faith.
We're excited to share that several individuals have taken the next step in their faith journey by applying for membership at Community Covenant Church. Membership is an important expression of commitment to the life and mission of our church family.
The following have submitted an application for membership at CCC and have had a favorable review by the Leadership Board:
Lynne Gallagher Paul Hollingsworth Janice Lawson Emily Robinson John Vanlenten Tauji Vanlenten
In accordance with our church bylaws, any objections to a prospective member shall be addressed in writing to the Leadership Board citing the basis for the objection.
Please join us in welcoming and praying for these individuals as they take this meaningful step in our community.
