What's Happening...

This Sunday - July 7th
During July and August, we are taking advantage of our California climate to worship outside at 10am with a shorter and more informal service. Our 8am service continues to be held in the Chapel every week, and we will return to the main church for worship on Labor Day.
The Parish Reads...and Discusses...
The Parish Reads...The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller.
Discussion group starts meeting Monday evening July 15th.
Want to talk about what you've read? Or listen to what others have thought? Then come along to these discussions. Don't be left out.
Full details here!
Summer 2013 Family Choir
Singers of all ages (children, youth, adult) are invited to join the "Summer Family Choir" from now through the end of July. Come to the Choir Room on any Sunday morning at 9:00 and learn the music for that week. Come join the fun! Call Jeannie Cobb (310) 375-4617 ext 228 with any questions.
Mama Hill's Kids to Camp - Funded!
There are a total of five (5) campers going from Mama Hill's Help this year, and we have received either the funds or a commitment for funds for all five!  Yay!
Thanks, all, for your help in making this happen!
Office Closures
The church office will be closed this week on Thursday July 4th, and Friday July 5th for our Independence Day holiday.

St. Motley's is downsizing and moving their rummage sale to the home of Gloria Jones, 309 Paseo de Gracia, Redondo Beach.  Can you help, especially on July 18,19, and 20th. day or evening?

You are not interrupting our work -  

you ARE our work!

 

Or just come to any or all of our services, and take a moment to sit quietly, light a candle in memory, or to symbolize your feeling, and let God be God - in you - for a few small, still moments. With blessings and prayers for comfort and love.
