Happy Friday, Friends at FBCP!
Today we have some important updates and opportunities to share with you. You can listen to the audio version below, but here are the highlights:
We look forward to gathering again for outdoor worship on Sunday, and we will have a few more chairs out for folks in the seating area! As always, we will livestream the service and post a recorded version later in the day. Thank you for honoring our safety agreements so that we can love each other well and stay safe and healthy.
Don’t forget to move your clocks an hour ahead on Saturday night! It’s Daylight Savings and time to spring forward. We’ll understand if anyone looks a little sleepy on Sunday morning!
Our weekly Lenten Bible Study continues this week on Wednesday at 12pm over Zoom. This week Pastor Gretchen is leading—yay! Join us for a time of reflection and discussion as we make the journey through Lent together. We’ll be using a Lenten devotional created by the folks at SALT Project, and you can pick up a physical copy of the devotional at Outdoor Church or can access a digital copy here. We would love to add your voice to the mix, so be sure to look for the Zoom invitation in the coming week!
Blair High School is just down the street from FBCP, and we regularly have students from Blair in our youth group. This year we have one senior who will graduate from Blair (do you remember Thomas?!), and we are always looking for ways to partner with this neighborhood school. This spring they are looking for folks to sponsor a high school senior by sending them some Blair swag and other small gifts as an encouragement to the students and their families. If you are interested in being matched with a senior to help spread some joy during this difficult school year, you can email Pastor Lindsay at lindsay@fbcpasadena.com.
We are sad to share the news that longtime friend and member of FBCP Jesse Terry died early this week. Pastor Mary has some words to share about his legacy, and you can hear her tribute in the audio below. If you would like to send words, photos, or videos of remembrance for a digital page honoring Jesse, please send them to lindsay@fbcpasadena.com or use the button below. Here are the addresses if you would like to send cards to the family:

Grace and peace as you head into the weekend. We can’t wait to worship with you on Sunday!
Less without you,
