UPCOMING EVENTS
TODAY // THE APOCALYPSE
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. Kelsy will kick off the series today with “Playing with Light” where we will hear from a stained glass artist and explore the role of stained glass in religion and pop culture throughout the millennia.
DEEP DIVE
Join us every 2nd and 4th Sabbath in taking a deeper dive into God’s Word, getting prayer support, worshiping through arts and music, and building authentic relationships. For more info: connect@hollywoodsda.org
TOMORROW // LITTLE FREE LIBRARY MURAL CELEBRATION & BLOCK PARTY
Come celebrate with us as we dedicate the Little Free Library Mural and enjoy a neighborhood block party with food, games, and more. Free admission. More details to come.

TODAY // CHURCH LUNCH & POTLUCK
Join us every First Sabbath for lunch at the Café right after service until 2pm. 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.
TODAY // PEACE AND JUSTICE / AFTER LUNCH

For donations, please contact Andrew in the church office by phone: (323) 462-0010 or email: andrew@hollywoodsda.org.

GET INVOLVED IN PEACE AND JUSTICE
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. Questions? Email Bill at neville_salvador@yahoo.com or Kirsten at salvadkj@gmail.com.

CAN’T HEAR EASILY?
