Dear Familia,

We can’t wait to see you all this upcoming Sunday! As we near the end of the summer, here are a few reminders of exciting things we’d love to share with you in the life of our community.

First Sunday Food & Fellowship

This Sunday, August 7 is our next monthly First Sunday Food & Fellowship dinner together. After our normal 4:00pm Sunday service, we’ll head out for dinner together at a restaurant in Pasadena and Meleca Consultado will be leading this time. Come and join us! Any and all are welcome! If you would like to join Meleca in helping curate these monthly spaces, she would love a co-leader to do so! Please email Meleca and let her know you want to join in the fun!

Familia & Friends Picnic

Our Familia & Friends Church Picnic is just around the corner! Hangout. Play. Connect. Whether you’ve been attending since the Zoom Living Room, streaming on Facebook Live, or this is your 1st Sunday, join us for a Friends and Familia Summer Picnic!

Details: 
Saturday, August 13
11:00am – 1:00pm
Alhambra Park, 500  N Palm Ave, Alhambra

Join us for this time to hang out, have some fun, and connect intergenerationally. Games will be provided and I hear there will be a water balloon toss. What to bring: a blanket or chair, your picnic basket, umbrella (optional), balls/games (optional), your friends, family, and dog (optional). The church will provide some drinks! If you want to extend your time the park has a playground, splash area, swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball court, and fitness area.

Baptisms and Baby Dedications

As we shared last week, on Sunday, August 14 we’ll be having both Baptisms and Baby Dedications! We’re still smiling from the last Baptism Service in June and we want to ensure we continue to offer opportunities to others who wish to step into those living waters as well! If that’s you or someone close to you, please reach out to us and let us know! We’d love to walk with you through that journey! And secondly, we will also be having our first ever Baby Dedications as a church!

This is an opportunity for parents and guardians to commit to raising up their child with the love of Christ while asking for God’s blessing upon their lives. It’s also a time for us as a church familia to declare that no family goes it alone! We’re in it together and we’ll commit to standing alongside parents and guardians and their kids to love and disciple them in community with one another! It’s going to be a beautiful moment for all of us!

If you’re interested in having your baby or young child dedicated, or even just have more questions about what that all means, don’t hesitate to connect with me or Pastor Bobby!

Familia, we look forward to all these opportunities to connect with one another over food and fellowship!

You are so loved!

gracia y paz,

Inés
