Community Congregational Church's mission is to follow the example of Jesus by being a welcoming community who cares for and honors each other and the world. We welcome everyone, young and old, gay and straight, singles and families, exuberant children and inquiring adults. We celebrate our diversity in vibrant music, sacred worship and lively fellowship. As a congregation governed by our members, we are a justice-making, radically inclusive community. We seek to live fully, love wastefully and lead courageously.
Join us this Sunday May 28th at 10am for our youth-led celebration of Pentecost. Come be amazed at the message our youth have in store for us, using the text from Acts 2:1-4. The Sermon for the day will be “Where’s God for You Now?” This Sunday is full of lively music with our Youth Band. The Ministry of Music will be “One Tin Soldier” sung by our Girls Choir. Join us early at 9:45 for our Youth Band performing gathering music.
We have a GREAT YOUTH GROUP that meets every Sunday at 6pm for high school and middle school age kids! Come join the FUN!

May's Mission and Outreach is the San Francisco Night Ministry . Saturday May 12th, our Youth are again joining in the Night Walk with the San Francisco Night Ministry team. San Fransisco Night Ministry
is an organization who serves ""the lonely, frightened, confused,
discouraged, defeated, anxious, addicted and spiritually lost" on the
streets of San Francisco.
After their visit with the Night Ministry in August of last year, the
Youth came back energized and transformed by their experience. In their
report to the congregation, they let us know that though the Night
Ministry does not give out money, they do try to help in other ways:"We
provide night-time distribution of certain items if/when we have them.We
need socks (new white cotton), hats, gloves, scarves, coats (men's
mostly), blankets, sleeping bags, toiletries, nutrition bars, bottles
of water and bibles. Also useful are gift certificates to McDonald's,
Burger King, coffee shops, Walgreens etc.
Last
year many of you expressed regret that you didn't know earlier so you
could donate some of the needed items. In response, the Mission and
Outreach Committee will have a bin out in the Fellowship Hall to receive
any of the items listed above. Please make sure all items are new and,
if purchased, in their original wrappings.
Because the Youth are going earlier in May than expected, we only have
this Sunday, April 29th, and next Sunday May 6th to collect items.
Everything collected will go with the Youth on May 12th, so that they
can personally deliver them to those in need.
May's mission program is the San Francisco Night Ministry. To contribute, use the special envelope in the pews at church and place your donation in the offering plate.
