Our Past: A Vision of Hospitality and Hope Community Blend began with a simple but powerful idea: create a place where people feel welcomed, known, and supported. What started as a small café offering free specialty coffee, tea, snacks, and books quickly grew into a gathering place where relationships formed and lives were strengthened. From the beginning, Community Blend has been rooted in faith, hospitality, and service. Bible studies, knitting groups, Fitness Fridays, and

On June 5th, we’ll mark a milestone that reflects God’s faithfulness and the steady support of neighbors, partners, and friends who have walked with us from the beginning. What started as a simple idea—a place where people could belong, learn, and connect—has grown into a vibrant hub of programs, relationships, and shared purpose. This anniversary isn’t just about looking back. It’s about celebrating the people who make Community Blend what it is today. Join Us for Brunch We

Easter invites us into a story that never grows old—a story of renewal, redemption, and a love stronger than death itself. As we move through this sacred season, we’re reminded that the same power that rolled away the stone still moves in our lives today. It lifts weary hearts, restores what felt broken, and calls us into a hope that rises. At Community Blend, we see glimpses of resurrection every day. It shows up in shared laughter over coffee, in friendships formed around t

Help fill our pot! Continuing the Work of Hospitality, Hope, and Connection in 2026 As we step into a new year at Community Blend, my heart is full of gratitude for the way this community continues to show up—with generosity, compassion, and a shared desire to make a difference. I want to take a moment to share where we’ve been, where we’re headed, and how you can be part of the impact in 2026. A Year Marked by Generosity In 2025, because of your faithful giving, Community Bl

The season of Lent is a special time to pause, breathe, and see God with fresh eyes. Last year I wrote a book titled, Behold a Tree. It's a collection of reflections on how God speaks through the quiet, steady presence of trees. Trees are everywhere—so familiar that we often walk right past them without noticing. But Scripture invites us to behold them, to pay attention, to learn from them. And Lent, in its own way, invites us to do the same: to slow down, to look again, to n

The Love That Changes Everything February often arrives wrapped in hearts, roses, and reminders to love one another. It’s a month that nudges us toward affection, kindness, and connection. But beneath the cards and chocolates lies a deeper truth: love didn’t begin with us. Love began with God. God’s love was the first and greatest love. Before we ever knew how to love, we were loved. Scripture tells us, “We love because He first loved us.” God’s love is not seasonal. It does

The Way of Wisdom, a study in Proverbs, begins next week, Feb 2nd. We're offering three weekly classes: Mondays 7:00 PM | Thursdays 9:00 AM | Fridays 12:00 PM. All classes held at The Chapel. Mondays and Thursdays in Room 108. Fridays in the Sanctuary. We welcome newcomers to join our groups (at any time).

What an extraordinary milestone. Over the past year, nearly 80 women have journeyed through a full chronological reading and study of the entire Bible—a commitment that reflects both perseverance and a deep hunger for God’s Word. Scripture reminds us that “the unfolding of Your words gives light” (Psalm 119:130), and this group has spent a year walking faithfully in that light. This achievement deserves to be celebrated. On February 3, 2026, at 6:30 PM , we will gather for a

Happy New Year! There’s something refreshing about turning the page into a new season. New goals, a guiding word, a meaningful Bible verse, or even a simple phrase of encouragement — these small anchors help keep us focused on where we’re going rather than on what we didn’t accomplish last year. Every January, many of us map out plans that we hope will push us forward. Reflecting on the past and desiring growth is a healthy rhythm. But if we’re honest, there are certain goals

I heard the Bells on Christmas Day, these lyrics remind me how much I miss hearing church bells. One church still plays in a town nearby and every so often I travel to hear them at noon. The soothing pings cause me to slow down and sometimes draw me into the church. We're in modern times now, where church bells are far and few between, but thankfully the church is still here. Church offers relationships, a place to belong and demonstrates where true hope can be found. In thi

It is hard to believe that yet another Christmas is around the corner. The years are flying past and I'm trying hard to keep up. But Christmas is a welcome time of year. People are especially mindful around Thanksgiving, and throughout the season, to be the hands and feet of Christ helping people in need. We are a blessed country with generous citizens. I'm proud to be an American living in the land of the free and home of the brave. Veteran's Day is a good reminder that we

In today's fast-paced world, taking the time to connect with others provides a refreshing break from the chaos. Gathering with family and friends reminds us of what truly matters: God, gratitude, our relationships and the moments we share together. Gratitude and gathering are two powerful elements that can enrich our lives. The Power of Gratitude Gratitude goes beyond a simple "thank you." It is an essential recognition of the good things God has provided in our lives, even w
