Community Life
Week of November 1, 2026
All Church Work Day
Bring your rake and gardening gloves, and join us November 7th starting at 9:00 AM as we work together to maintain our beautiful campus.
New Council Tree Website
CTCC Communications Team has created a beautiful new website for our church!
One main purpose of the website is to help people decide if they would like to visit our church, so you'll see options that help describe our church and our denomination.
For our regular attenders, you can check out the "Upcoming Events" section to see what is happening in our church or remind yourself what you heard on Sunday during Community Life! You'll also find the current reading schedule for Immerse!
As with anything new, there may be some kinks or errors. There's a link at the bottom of each page to give feedback or notify the team of any missing information or errors.
Check it out at counciltreecovenant.com.
The Chosen -- Sneak Preview
SEASON 6, EPISODE 1
SEE IT FIRST!
Churches and parishes are receiving early access to screen the first episode of Season 6 of The Chosen!
Join us Wednesday, November 4th from 6:00-8:00pm for this special screening.
We will share a potluck meal beginning at 6:00pm so bring your favorite food to share. The showing will begin at about 6:15. The episode runs for 52 minutes, following this we will have a time of group discussion.
All episodes of Season 6 will be incredibly somber given the material being depicted. While the crucifixion is not depicted in the first episode it will contain a brief scene of violence that is not overly graphic. If you have questions or concerns about this, please reach out to Anna.
Invite your friends!
Check out the Season 6 trailer here!
Immerse: Messiah
Immerse is designed to help communities experience the Bible together in a unique and powerful way. Over the course of this fall and into the new year, we will read the entire New Testament together! Each week, participants read the assigned reading on their own and then we will gather on Sunday mornings to have discussions where you can share your observations and questions based on the week’s reading. Join us at 9:00am on Sunday mornings for a time of facilitated conversation around where God has met you through His Word each week beginning on Sunday, October 4. To learn more, watch this video that explains the story behind Immerse. If you would like to participate, please order your Immerse: Messiah book in advance and join us on Sunday mornings!
If you've already ordered your book, the first batch is available for pick up in the office! If you haven't ordered one yet, then you will need to order one through amazon.com.

Volunteer Opportunities
From the beginning of creation, God established holy rhythms of life and service for those who follow in God’s path. We each have personal seasons of rest and restoration, and of new life and service. Council Tree encourages spiritual wondering alongside the Holy Spirit to discern what spiritual season you may be in.
If you find yourself in a place where you have margin to serve, we could definitely use your gifts! If you feel God is calling you to explore serving, we would encourage you to start an exploratory conversation with a team lead to find out more.
