Everyone is invited to stop by our booth at Pasadena’s 3rd annual Love, Loud & Proud Pride Month celebration tomorrow, June 22nd, from 5-9pm.

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.
The Friends In Deed food pantry item this week is cereal.
Stop by the FBCP Hospitality Desk on Sundays in June for a free Pride Month gift 🌈.
