 Mike Selvar brings a back hoe to start prepping for a donated 12'x60' trailer which will be our future food pantry. Thanks to Erickson/Hall Construction for the donation. Please pray for favor with the County. We are resubmitting our building plans on Tuesday. |  The "Tent" has gone away. After 3 1/2 years of using the tent for a temporary Worship Center it has retired. A bit tattered and torn, it has served it's purpose. We are now meeting in the newly remodeled Worship Center. Small but cozy! God is Good!! |
Community 1st gets a new door on our Worship Center. Thank you so much to Dennis and Cary for all their hard work in helping this restoration.
By the way, they didn't want their picture taken until they were threatened with getting an ugly picture taken if they didn't smile! Thanks Guys!!

A huge thank you to Frank (aka "The Food Guy"). Frank faithfully, every week, brings us food, clothes, shampoos, cleaning products, toys and much more for our Food Pantry and Outreach Center. He picks up these items from Vons & Target Stores who donate them.
We are also able to help other local ministries by sharing what Frank provides for us.
God continues to provides faster than we can give!
Thank you, Frank!
As we continue to trust God to help our Community, we received 4000 children's Croc shoes!
California Family Life Center of Hemet, Program Coordinator, Greg Snow, made this incredible donation of shoes and socks. Thank you, Greg, for sharing this blessing! www.cfickids.org

With such blessing, we were able to extend it to other ministries. Over one thousand pairs of shoes went to the Perris Outreach Center with Pastor Nolan and Becky Turnage from the Grove Community Church. Pastor Nolan and Becky provide new clothing- all new and donated by a variety of merchants, for underprivileged moms and their children.

God continues to bless Community First with donations to share with our Community. Recently we opened a clothing ministry called Hope Unlimited Outreach Center. We are providing clothes to men, women and children in need. The Outreach Center is open during our food distribution on Saturdays from 9am-11:00am. There are no financial requirements. If you need clothes, shoes, or jackets, see our Center Manager, Margaret Blain.

Beginning Sunday, September 1 we will be moving to one service at 9:00am. We will also be starting a series of "100 Days of Break Through." We have had many set backs during our rebuilding process, so for the next 100 days we will memorize and meditate on the word of God and include prayer and fasting.
We are looking forward to moving forward and trusting God for new BREAKTHROUGH!
