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.
TODAY // DEEP DIVE
Join us after the Worship Service in taking a deeper dive into God’s Word, getting prayer support, worshiping through arts and music, and building authentic relationships.
NEXT SABBATH // 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.
NEXT SABBATH // PEACE AND JUSTICE / AFTER LUNCH
Join the conversation every first Sabbath after lunch at 2pm. Come learn what is peace and justice. Does lack of affordable housing keep you up at night? Questions? Email Bill at neville_salvador@yahoo.com or Kirsten at salvadkj@gmail.com.
CICLAVIA // SUNDAY AUGUST 18
Our church will be participating in the upcoming CicLAvia “Meet the Hollywoods” event where we will provide bottled water and fill tires with air as needed. The route runs in front of our church from 9am to 4pm so we will have a tent set up for anyone who would like to participate. Speak to Patty, Bill or Kirsten if you have any suggestions or want to be involved in any way.

All while eliminating the barriers presented by a traditional monetary exchange transaction. We are in constant need of new and gently used t-shirts, pants, socks, and new underwear for all genders.
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.
