UPCOMING EVENTS
TODAY, 2PM // LITTLE FREE LIBRARY @ HOLLYWOOD: DEDICATION & RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY. Our church is now home to a Little Free Library! We’re partnering with LittleFreeLibrary.org, a non-profit organization. We encourage you to get involved in serving the families in our community and neighbors through book donations, and joining us to dedicate the new library! Corner of Canyon Drive & Van Ness.
JUNE 24 // DEEP DIVE. Join us after the Worship Service for a deeper dive into God’s Word, getting prayer support, worshiping through arts and music, and building authentic relationships. Every second and fourth Sabbath. For more info: connect@hollywoodadventist.org.
CURRENT WORSHIP SERIES // “HOPE & MERCY”. Get Your Hebrews Study Bible. Go to Pastor.Branden.Link where you'll find the ESV journal Bibles just for Hebrews with two cover options plus other recommended resources from Pastor Branden.
JULY // THE APOCALYPSE IS UPON US. At Hollywood Adventist in July we celebrate a season of apocalypse—a revealing of Jesus through media and pop culture. This series is crafted in the radical example of Paul while in Athens (Acts 17) that allowed him to reach the minds of the people who lived in that fascinating city. This year's speakers have intriguing insights into and through the mind of Christ and a journey of faith that you might not have seen before. Plan to attend and invite your friends! They’ll love it!
JULY 1 // NEXT CHURCH POTLUCK. Join us every first Sabbath for lunch at the Café right after service until 2:00pm. Menu will be prepared by our Foodies Ministry Team to maintain food safety protocols. Sign up to volunteer for food service or contact reypraise@gmail.com. Monetary donations, pre-packaged snacks, desserts, and drinks are all welcomed.
JULY 1 // GET INVOLVED IN PEACE AND JUSTICE. Join Kirsten & Bill on Sabbath, July 1 after potluck at 2 pm. Let's talk together, listen and consider what are the needs/challenges in our community (inside and/or outside the church walls/fences). How is God already at work on those challenges? Consider what, if any, part you want to join in with God on his (on-going) mission. Read Luke 10 to prepare for our discussion. Questions? Email Bill at neville_salvador@yahoo.com or Kirsten at salvadkj@gmail.com.
