Get Ready for CELEBRATION GENEROSITY

Celebration Generosity is truly a celebration! As COMMUNITY attenders, we have made a tremendous impact in the lives of people all over the world through our generous support of the teams that make up this event. We anticipate 2012 will be the best year yet! Over the past four years, we have given over $1,750,000 to reach people far from God and restore God's dream where it has been broken. So, join us as we celebrate the 5th year of Celebration Generosity! communitychristian.org/generosity

Parents go Orange!

Hey Parents!  We are super excited about our transition to the Orange curriculum.  One of the things that we love about it is all of the resources for parents!  We believe that YOU are the greatest spiritual influence in your child's life.  In order to take on this great responsibility of leading your child spiritually we hope that you will take advantage of the wonderful resources that we have to support you in that.  If you have a Jumpstreet child (age 3 - kindergarten) you should have received a placemat when you picked your child up from Kids' City.  It is our hope that you will use this to have spiritual conversations with your child during the week.  We also have a Parent Cue sheet that you can downl Read More…

Missional Story: A Generous Small Group

Victor Hernandez leads a Small Group of Spanish-speakers.  Many of the people in this group found their way back to God at another COMMUNITY Christian Church campus and are now attending Lincoln Square.  Last month I (Tammy) visited with this group and was so encouraged by how they are sincerely striving to live out their role in the Jesus mission.  They told me that this past year they felt led to start collecting an offering at their Small Group.  I asked them to share a bit of their story:

Holiday Gift Mart Thank You

Over 100 refugee children living in the area surrounding Lincoln Square were blessed this Christmas through our first Holiday Gift Mart.  Over 350 toys and 50 volunteers made the Gift mart a wonderful experience for the families involved.  We partnered with COMMUNITY's Edgewater Campus and World Relief, a refugee resettlement organization, to make this event happen.  Thanks to everyone who donated toys and volunteered their time to make this event possible. 

Begin with Prayer (Together!)

"Begin with Prayer" is the first missional practice that can help us discover and live out our role in the Jesus Mission.  Asking, "How do you want me to bless the world today, God?" is the starting point for mission.  Praying this prayer together can be a powerful and profound experience.  Join us for one (or both) of these prayer gatherings:

Sundays, 9:45am, Room 106 at Chappell Elementary:  Gather before our Sunday service to pray for our church and the needs in our community.  For more information, contact Julie at prayerlsq@yahoo.com.

2nd & 4th Thursdays, 8-9am, Tammy's Apartment:  Starting January 26th, join us twice a month for an hour of prayer before heading into your day.  For more information and Read More…
