Tomorrow
The FBCPride Group invites everyone who likes to hike to join us at Eaton Canyon on Saturday, July 15th. Text “hike” to 626.727.9498 if you plan to attend. We changed the time to 8am (due to the heat) in front of the Nature Center. Bring sunscreen, water, shoes with good grip (they are likely to get wet!), and snacks. Email Justine with any questions.
Sunday
Join us at 10:30am 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.
We will be collecting donations for Friends In Deed’s School Supply Drive thru this Sunday, July 16th. If you would like to help out, here are some things to consider:
Please avoid all red and all blue backpacks.
The supplies needed are recommended by the Pasadena/Altadena area schools and the list can be found here.
This week the Friends In Deed food pantry item is baking supplies.
Coming Up
The youth have an opportunity to hang out for a fun afternoon of swimming and other activities at one of our church families’ homes on Monday, July 17th, from 12-4pm. Lunch will be served. We'll have a variety of activities—something for everyone! Email Pastor Lindsay for more information.
Some of you may have wondered what happens to the pew card prayer requests, or the prayer requests texted to 626.727.9498. We are happy to share that our team of pastors and staff pray for you (Pastors John Jay, Lindsay, Chip, Leslie and Mary, along with support staff Cynthia, Marcie and Sally) along with our Deacon Board (Bill, Brian, Jason, Judy, Rich, Saskia, and Vivian) and the Prayer Team (Alex, Bill, Brandon, Bunny, Cindie, Cindy, Galvin, Gretchen, Jason, Jeannette, Jon, Kris, Mary, Natalee and Tyler). If you prefer your request to be met with a less generous amount of prayer, we understand that, too. Please simply write “confidential” on the pew card or text, and we will limit those requests to the staff. Thank you!
Join us in celebrating the life of Sharon "Snoopy" Fong at Evergreen Baptist LA on August 12th at 10am. Please RSVP here. Snoopy and Ken have been part of our church for a few years now, having joined our community after retiring from ministry at Evergreen Baptist Church of Los Angeles. Snoopy could be found in the choir loft most Sundays, and maintained a strong presence with her long-term small group until her last days. She lost her battle with cancer on July 2nd and we ask that you keep Ken and their daughter Janessa in your prayers.
Because our sanctuary does not have air conditioning, we encourage you to bring a water bottle and dress lightly on Sundays for worship service. Although there are hand fans throughout the sanctuary in the back of the pews, you may also want to bring your own hand fan as the summer heat continues.
