Weekly Updates 03.24.2023

Sunday

  • Join us for the second to last Lenten Sunday School class, Sunday, March 26th, from 9-10 a.m. This will be a wonderful chance to study the last words of Jesus. Check out last week’s content here. See you in the Parlor!


  • 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 regular youth time of lunch and fellowship after service will be postponed until next Sunday, April 2nd. 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.

  • This week, the Friends In Deed food pantry item is Buyer’s Choice.

Next Week

  • Join our Yarn Craft Group after worship in the Parlor next Sunday, April 2nd, for knitting, crocheting, and beyond. Bring your own lunch, and text "yarn" to 626.727.9498 if you’re new.

  • Our Easy-Going Basketball Group continues next Sunday, April 2nd, at 7 p.m. in the Gym. Headed by Jason C, this team is for everyone who loves the game but isn’t fresh off the college bench. Email Misterjchen@gmail.com if you have questions.

Parking

  • Our garage on Holly St. recently changed management companies, as you may have noticed. A few people have had trouble scanning their validated tickets. Please see this PDF file and this video for instructions to make sure you scan successfully.

Holy Week Services

  • Palm Sunday | April 2

    Our regular worship service at 10:30 a.m. will include our children singing with the choir and waving palms as they invite us into Holy Week!

  • Maundy Thursday | April 6

    This will be an intimate service that includes a reflective time of prayer, communion and footwashing. Service will be held in the Chapel at 6 p.m. Childcare will be provided for nursery-age children.

  • Good Friday | April 7

    This special service in the Chapel will serve as an invitation to listen to scored scripture and our wonderful FBCP Choir, and to remember Christ’s crucifixion and His death on the cross. Childcare will be provided for nursery-age children.

  • Flowers for the Easter Cross | April 9

    Help us decorate the cross on Easter with greenery from all over our city! Snip and bring in some flowers when you come for brunch at 10 a.m. on April 9th.

  • Easter Sunday Brunch + Service | April 9

    We will celebrate Easter Sunday on April 9th beginning with a potluck brunch and mariachi band at 10 am in the courtyard!  Based on your last name, if you’re able, we’re asking you to bring about 10 servings of something savory (A-L) or sweet/fruit (M-Z) to eat and share with your friends here. Worship service will be immediately afterward at 11 a.m. with the children joining us for service to celebrate Christ’s resurrection. Nursery care will be provided for ages four and under. We hope you can join us for both!
