Please read John 17:20-26 to prepare for the sermon.
Hello Community Covenant Church of Goleta!
We're looking forward to being together again as we near the end of our series, "Why the Church?"
It's a marvelous thought to recognize that Jesus prayed for us while he was on earth, and it's an even more marvelous thing to see what he prayed for us. As we'll learn this Sunday, what he prayed is another answer to our ongoing inquiry, Why the Church?
You can study John 17:20-26 to get a preview of our topic.
We hope you'll stick around after worship this Sunday for coffee, treats, and conversation! Catch up with friends, meet someone new, and enjoy time with our church family.
Our Fellowship Team handles setup and cleanup, but we need YOU to bring goodies.. If your last name begins with G - M, please bring a treat to share. Thank you for helping make this time together possible!
LIFE AT COMMUNITY COVENANT
Are You Interested in Becoming An Active Member of Community Covenant?
Our church has "Community" in its name on purpose. We want to be people centered on Jesus, growing in faith and living it out together. Our purpose is to cultivate a community that strives to love God, follow Jesus and serve others-and we'd love to help you discover your place in that community.
This Sunday, join us for the beginning of our two-week New Members Class on November 8 and 15, after the Sunday service. Over lunch and conversation, we'll explore what we believe, how our purpose shapes life at Community Covenant Church, and what it means to become a member.
Whether you're ready to pursue membership or simply want to learn more, you're welcome! There's no obligation to become a member, but attending both sessions is required for those who choose to take that step.
