| We are a nondenominational Protestant Christian church, governed by our members. We value openness, independent thinking and inclusiveness in our journey together. We encourage individual spiritual exploration and do not require adherence to a creed or a single view of what it means to be a Christian. We journey by heart, and our goal is to love God and all that God loves. |

| CANS FOR CAREERS (and plastic bottles too!) Please save, rinse and crush your recyclable aluminum beverage cans and plastic bottles, and bring them to the receptacles at church.

| AREA FOOD BANKS NEED DONATIONS! Please bring non-perishable foodstuffs when you come to church; they will be distributed in our local community through the Food Pantry at St. Mary’s Church in Pacific Grove. You will notice our food basket as you enter the Narthex (front entrance of the Sanctuary). This is a year-round project of our Missions Committee. |
| PRAYING & WORSHIPPING AS ONE: As an extension of our community of prayer and worship, we hold a Bible study/worship service on Saturdays at 10 a.m. at the Chinatown shelter in Salinas. They have a book in which participants write prayers and wish to unite these unseen/unspoken prayers with ours at Community Church. Although private, and for God’s eyes only, this book is brought regularly and placed on the small table of candles lit during our prayer time-a small sign of our solidarity with them as we are one with them in Christ, and in our shared humanity. ~Elizabeth Wrightman |
