Tomorrow
All women and girls are invited to Descanso Gardens tomorrow morning, June 29th, from 10am-12pm! We will meet by the entrance to the gardens and enjoy the beauty of early summer together. Tickets may be purchased for $15 in advance online or in person at the Visitor Center. Bring comfortable shoes for walking. FBCP will provide a light lunch after our walk through the garden. Please text “garden” to 626.727.9498 if you plan to join us and email Pastor Lindsay 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.
The Friends In Deed food pantry item this week is canned chicken or tuna.
Stop by the FBCP Hospitality Desk for a free Pride Month gift 🌈. Thanks to Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia for redesigning our buttons!

Meal Ministry Team
Do you love to cook—or deliver DoorDash, and bless others with your culinary ideas? We have a Meal Ministry team that is called upon when needs arrive among church members. Let Pastor Lindsay know if you’d like to join the team. There’s no pressure to participate every time a need arrives, but you will be notified with the opportunity. Thanks for considering this generous act of service.
