Community of Christ celebrated the 25th anniversary of the dedication of the Temple in Independence, Missouri, on April 6, 2019. In spring 1993 the Temple was dedicated with Doctrine and Covenants 156:4-5 in mind, "The temple shall be dedicated to the pursuit of peace. It shall be for reconciliation and for healing of the spirit." The church was reminded of this in Doctrine and Covenants 163:8:b. "There are additional sacred ministries that will spring forth from the Temple as rivers of living water to help people soothe and resolve the brokenness and pain in their lives. Let the Temple continue to come to life as a sacred center of worship, education, community building, and discipleship preparation for all ages. c. As these ministries come to fuller expression, receptive congregations in the areas around the Temple and throughout the world will be revived and equipped for more effective ministry. Vital to this awakening is the understanding that the Temple calls the entire church to become a sanctuary of Christ’s peace, where people from all nations, ethnicities, and life circumstances can be gathered into a spiritual home without dividing walls, as a fulfillment of the vision for which Jesus Christ sacrificed his life." We are called to share the peace of Jesus Christ in our homes, congregations, and communities. May we carry the ministries of the Temple far and wide. May we become a people of the Temple.  This short work of theology by Dr. Tony Chvala-Smith explores and reflects on the central convictions of Community of Christ. It seeks to inform readers about what Community of Christ believes: something breathtaking, restorative, and transforming, a luminous way of life shaped by an ongoing encounter with the Living Christ. This is a wonderful option for adult study, Sunday school, or personal reading and reflection.

“It never gets easier,” she says with a smile. “The topics they talk about are never the same, and the church is always evolving in its own way.” Click here to read the full article.  Community of Christ in Canada, made up of the Canada West and Canada East Mission Centres, announced the launch of its new website today. This new resource and communication tool is a collaborative effort between the two Canadian mission centres and will help build continuity, encourage knowledge sharing, and strengthen bonds across the country. The website was built with multiple marketing streams in mind, ensuring diverse audiences may find value through relevant points of connection, dynamic content, up-to-date news and event information, as well as theological, scriptural, and denominational information.
The website was custom-built over the last five months on a simple platform that meets the needs of our Canadian staff, ensuring ease-of-use and promoting increased efficiencies. By doing so, managing the website is now more accessible and approachable to staff. This ensures content creators can be trained to maintain the website more frequently and with ease in order to continue on as a dynamic and adaptable resource for years to come. The launch signals a larger commitment to improve communication, marketing, and public relations. While the website services members and non-members alike, visitors to the new website will notice more pronounced marketing streams to appeal to a variety of site visitors in an effort to deliver more relevant content to all. Visit www.communityofchrist.ca to learn more. This Sunday's Order of Worship will be available on Sunday morning for you.
We hope you will join us for 10 a.m. Coffee & Conversation. This will be followed by the 11 a.m. Worship Service. See you Sunday! |
