Sunday
Join us at 10:30 a.m. for worship in the sanctuary! The nursery will be open as usual for our toddlers and babies. Our kids five years old and up can join us for the first part of worship and then will be dismissed to their classrooms with their leaders. They can sit with their parents or join us in the front rows at the start of service. Our youth are invited to join us for our regular lunch and fellowship after service. The Prayer team will be available at the front of the sanctuary toward the end of the service to pray with those who would like to receive prayer.
Basics Class will take place immediately following worship service this Sunday, January 29th, in the Southside Room for those who are interested in learning more about our church and/or becoming a member. Pastors John Jay and Chip will go over our history as an American Baptist church and what it means to be part of the FBCP community. Lunch will be provided. Text “basics” to 626.727.9498 to RSVP. Email Pastor Chip for more details and/or if you are attending and will need childcare.
The tamale order form is here! Our Winter Youth Retreat will take place February 24-26. We are pumped to bring back a longstanding tradition of making and selling tamales as a youth retreat fundraiser, so get ready for this delicious chance to support our youth. You can order tamales online here or by texting "tamale" to 626.727.9498. We will also have a paper sign-up at the Connections Desk on Sunday. You can pick your tamales up at our next all-church potluck after worship on February 19th. If you aren't able to pick them up then, you can email Pastor Lindsay to make other arrangements.
Grab some earphones and catch up on this week’s latest recordings.
This week, the Friends In Deed Food Pantry item is soup/chili/stew.

After service on February 5th, we will continue planning for our church mission trip to Oaxaca, Mexico this October 23-27 with Adventures in Life Ministry.

Save the date for a potluck lunch after service on Sunday, February 19. Potlucks are a special time here at FBCP, so we hope you can make it for some fantastic food and fellowship.
Join us as we begin the Lenten season on Wednesday, February 22nd. We will gather at 6:00 pm in the chapel for a worship service which will conclude with the imposition of ashes.
