Happy Friday, Friends at FBCP!
Today Ruthie and Corrie have a super fun video about how you can be part of making our garage sanctuary beautiful on Easter morning. Check out the video below and get excited for what will be a really special celebration of the resurrection!
Here are the updates you need to know for this week:
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. As we look ahead to when we can be in the sanctuary, it would help us if you let us know your vaccine status, including whether or not you have received it and if you still have questions about it. Click here to share that info with our staff.
This Sunday at 7:30PM we invite you to gather with us over Zoom for a time of prayer and lament in light of this week’s violence. We will make space to hear how recent events have deepened the pain for the AAPI community and to pray for healing, peace, and the Spirit’s leading in the work of justice. We’ll send out a Zoom link on Sunday for all who want to join.
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 still in need of a few 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.
Our weekly Lenten Bible Study continues this week on Wednesday at 12pm over Zoom. This week Chip is leading—wahoo! 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!
Grace and peace as you head into the weekend. We can’t wait to worship with you on Sunday!
Less without you,
The FBCP Community
