Our sermon series on prayer continues with a focus on the Psalms.
We will explore together some highlights of how the psalmists "cry out" to God and how the prayers and songs of Psalms were used to shape public worship. This will lead into an extended time of silent reflection and prayer based on four Psalms, as well as several prayers for our church and its ministries.
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.
LIFE AT COMMUNITY COVENANT
☕️Sunday Fellowship!☕️
Looking for the perfect way to connect after church? Join us on the patio for food and great conversation! It's a wonderful way to unwind and build relationships in a warm, welcoming environment with friends-both old and new. ?
August is when we give our wonderful Hospitality Team a little break so there won't be the same wonderful spread on the tables. But the coffee and a small assortment of treats will be there to encourage you to stick around and meet new people!
____________________________ Let's come together and enjoy the gift of fellowship. ???
Kids in for Musical Worship all Summer!
All this 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 Classes on Monday (Open to All!)
Classes are meeting from 7:00-8:30pm on Mondays in the Sanctuary. During these sessions, Pastor Eric is exploring the history, people, and significance of many of the places we'll be visiting on this Fall's tour, helping bring the tour to life before we even depart and giving those that can't go a chance to share the experience. They are being live-streamed and recorded so you can catch up if you missed a class.
This week we have a guest lecturer, Dr. Mark Nelson from Westmont, discussing the life and beliefs of the well-known C.S. Lewis.
Everyone is welcome to attend even if you are not going on the tour! These classes will be especially meaningful for those traveling with the group.
We look forward to learning together as we prepare for this unforgettable journey!
Men's BBQ & Worship Night | August 10
The Men's Journey Group invites all men to a Men's BBQ & Worship Night on Monday, August 10, at 6:00pm in the Community Covenant Church Multipurpose Room.
Invite a friend and join us for an incredible Santa Maria Tri-Tip BBQ, a meaningful time of worship, and a powerful personal testimony from a brother sharing how Christ has transformed his life as he continues to abide in Him.
Sign up on the patio after church this Sunday. We'd love to have you with us!
All Church Time of Prayer | Sunday, August 16
Join us Sunday, August 16, following the service at around noon, for a 30-minute time of corporate prayer.
This gathering will be a space for us to seek God together as a church family-praying for our church, our community, and our personal walks with Jesus in the year ahead. We'll begin with a guided time of prayer together, followed by an opportunity for anyone who would like to share a personal prayer request and be prayed for by others in our church family.
We believe there is something powerful about coming together in prayer-gathered, dependent, and expectant before God-and we would love for you to join us.
Sunday, August 16 | Right after service
We'd love to see you there.
Monthly Movie Time!
Thursday, Aug 13 @1pm!
We are continuing with our Summer movies. This month we will be learning the story of a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son's extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world. The movie is Heaven is for Real. There will be free popcorn and great fellowship.

? Just in Time for Summer Reading Fun! ?
? 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.
