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.
As we journey through the Psalms this summer, we want to let God peer into our hearts. After all we learned last Sunday about God's unlimited power, we must conclude that God also has unlimited power to search our hearts. This week, we'll learn that it's a good thing when we let him do just that.
There is so many exciting things happening here at Community Covenant Church, and we are excited to see God work in many ways here at CCC! Please read below on all that is coming up! We can't wait to see you this Sunday!
LIFE AT COMMUNITY COVENANT
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!

Men's Ministry - 100X LIFE: Living the Words of Jesus
Experience life to the fullest-just as Jesus promised.
Our new men's ministry series kicked off last week but it's not too late to jump in! This summer, we're walking through 100X LIFE: A Daily Practice-a journey of taking Jesus at His word and discovering how His teachings can shape our everyday lives.
This isn't just about belief-it's about a way of life that leads to real transformation.

? Help Support Our Mission in Yap! ?
At the end of July, Karyn Sorenson will take a small team of young adults to the remote island of Yap in Micronesia to run a youth camp and help with VBS. This is a wonderful opportunity to share God's love and encouragement with at-risk youth who often lack hope.
✈️ Here's how you can help:
Airfare alone is almost $3000 per person, and we also need to purchase camp and VBS supplies. To support this mission, please join our Envelope Fundraiser in the courtyard over the next three Sundays:
You'll find envelopes on the courtyard posts- pick any envelope labeled 1-100 and return it with that amount in cash or check (made out to Bridges of Hope International). Every dollar helps!
Prefer online giving? Go to https://www.bridgesworldwide.org/give and click Donate Now, choose your amount, select Other Fund, and in the memo write: Micronesia Summer Mission.
Return envelopes to Karyn Sorenson or place them in the offering plate.
All donations are tax deductible. If you would like a receipt, please include your name and email.
? Thank you for helping us bring the hope of Jesus to Yap's youth this summer! Together, we can make an eternal difference in the lives of these young people.
