Did you miss worship yesterday? Or discover that the one weekend we really needed the technology to cooperate was the weekend it decided to have other plans?

Trust us—we share your frustration. The good news is that while the livestream had issues, the service continued to record, and we're grateful we were still able to capture this special morning.

Below you'll find the link to the uploaded service from May 31, where we celebrated Maeve's baptism, welcomed new members to the Community UMC family, and recognized the teachers and supporters of our Children's Chapel ministry.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we hope you'll take a moment to join us for this joyful service. ❤️

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Join us this Sunday as we celebrate Pentecost together at Community UMC! Pentecost is a joyful celebration of the Holy Spirit moving among us, and one of the traditions of the day is wearing red to symbolize the flames of the Spirit. We invite you to wear your favorite shades of red as we gather for worship, music, prayer, and community together. We can’t wait to see the sanctuary filled with warm Pentecost colors this weekend!

Scripture: Luke 24: 44-53
Message: Blessing at Bethany
Pastor: Tim O'Brien

This Sunday, we journey to Bethany — a place of blessing, sending, and hope. In Luke 24:44–53, we witness Jesus sharing final words with the disciples before ascending, leaving them not in fear or sadness, but with joy, purpose, and a reminder that they were never meant to stay standing still. “Blessing at Bethany” invites us to reflect on what it means to carry hope into a complicated world and to recognize the sacred moments that send us forward changed.

Sometimes life feels chaotic, uncertain, and overwhelming — but this story reminds us that blessing can still break through the noise. Together, we’ll explore what it means to be people of joy, purpose, and connection even in the middle of everyday life. Whether you’ve been in church forever or are simply searching for a place to breathe, question, belong, and be reminded that hope still exists, there’s a place for you here this Sunday at Community UMC.

Step into a moment of peace this week as we explore The Voice of Hope through John 10:1–11. In this passage, Jesus reminds us that we are known, called, and never alone—the Good Shepherd who leads us with care, speaks our name, and stays with us every step of the way. In a world full of noise, we’ll take time to notice the voice that brings comfort, direction, and life.

Children’s Chapel will be diving into this same promise in a hands-on, joy-filled way—because the truth is simple and powerful: Jesus is always with us. Come ready to listen, to wonder, and to be reminded that you belong. There’s a place for you here, and a voice calling you by name.

Scripture: Luke 24: 13-16; 28-31; 36-39
Message: Seeing in a New Way
Pastor: Tim O'Brien

Join us this Sunday as we explore what it means to see in a new way. Through the story of the road to Emmaus, we’ll reflect on how God is present with us—even when we don’t recognize it at first. Sometimes what we think we see isn’t the whole picture, and faith invites us to look again with open hearts. Come discover how Christ meets us in the ordinary and reveals something more. All are welcome—come as you are.
