@ Community This Sunday

CCOP on Facebook

Community Church of Providence has a new site on Facebook. Our old site is no longer active (as of a few months ago), and so we want to make sure you are connected to the current page, https://www.facebook.com/CommunityofProv/.

By following us on Facebook, you'll have access to information about upcoming services, community events, volunteer opportunities, and much more.

As we gather in fellowship this February, we are filled with gratitude and anticipation to honor Black History Month. Throughout this significant month, we will unite to recognize the invaluable contributions and enduring legacy of Black individuals in shaping our world and our faith.

During our upcoming services and events, we invite you to join us in reflecting on the rich tapestry of Black history, from the profound spiritual leadership to the unwavering commitment to justice and equality. It is our shared responsibility to acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of experiences and perspectives that have enriched our church community and our collective journey of faith.

Together, let us embrace this opportunity to deepen our understanding, nurture empathy, and reaffirm our commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all members of our congregation. Our shared exploration of Black history can serve as a catalyst for unity, compassion, and growth within our church family.

Michelle Hill will be joining us this Sunday for a special performance at our church service. Michelle is a talented vocalist and we are honored to have her share her gifts with our congregation. You won't want to miss this opportunity to hear her beautiful voice and be uplifted by her music. We look forward to seeing you there!

Would you like to become a member of CCOP? 

We would love to have you!

On March 16, from 10 am to 12 pm, Pastor Sarah will lead a group for adults interested in church membership. If you can't make that date and want to set up another time, please email Pastor Sarah at [email protected].

Directory of Members and Friends Update

Our church is updating and expanding our members and friends directory. If you would like to have your contact information updated or added, we invite you to visit Rhodes Hall, where you will find a sheet available to update your information. This will help us ensure that our directory is accurate and up-to-date, and will help us stay connected as a community.

Thank you for your participation!

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the women who joined us last Saturday for our Women Together Fellowship Breakfast and Craft event. It was truly a pleasure to gather together and share in each other's company.

The morning was filled with delicious food, inspiring conversation, and creative crafting. We hope that everyone had a wonderful time and left feeling uplifted and refreshed.

We would like to give a special thanks to our event organizers. Your hard work and dedication are truly appreciated.

We look forward to our next Women Together event and hope to see you all there!



The upcoming Women's Bible Study Book will be available for purchase starting this Saturday for only $15 each. This is an incredible opportunity to deepen your faith and connect with other women in our community. We encourage you to take advantage of this offer and grab your copy this weekend. 

For those who are unable to make it on Saturday, the books will also be made available for purchase in the church office during the week. Don't miss out on this resource for your spiritual growth and development. We look forward to seeing you at the Women's Bible Study!

Our church's annual meeting and potluck will be taking place this Sunday, February 18th immediately after service. This is a great opportunity for our community to come together and share a meal while discussing the future of our church. We will have both online and paper sign-ups available for dishes, so please sign up using the link below or in Rhodes Hall. We look forward to seeing you there!

Thoughtful Insights From Reverend Charles Hartman

When Roger Williams was forced out of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636, he made his way to the banks of the Seekonk River and began his settlement in what is now East Providence. When the Plymouth Colony leaders objected he moved to what is now Providence and settled there. He did this with the cooperation and blessings of Canonicus, the sachem of the Narragansett people. The Baptist are indebted to the indigenous people in their struggle to survive and flourish. Baptists and the Narragansett people now have a long history that include important figures like Princess Redwing who was a member of the Berean Baptist congregation in Harrisville. Now we encourage support for the efforts to relocate the Tomaquag Museum from Exeter to a site on the URI campus.



On The Spiritual Journey: Rocks and Roots

“finding a path through the wilderness”: a sermon and four sessions

Join us as we explore of what it means to grow spiritually. We seek spiritual growth in order to sustain our faith and practice in our daily walk. Using the metaphor of “wilderness,” we will read and reflect on passages from scripture, poets, theologians, and mystics. As we discover both personal and corporate pathways through “wilderness” both real and metaphorically, we will share questions and seek wisdom about those things challenging us as persons,

communities and as the church.

Our format begins with the sermon on February 25: Rocks and Roots: “Let’s Talk about the Walk”. We will follow that sermon with four zoom sessions. Each one will continue to explore themes introduced through the sermon.

Registration forms are available In Rhodes Hall.

Please choose the time best for you. We will announce a final schedule when everyone has had a chance to

register. Please sign up soon.

We encourage folks to commit to all four sessions as each one builds on the previous one.

Questions may be directed to Charlie at [email protected].
