Elder Greg will draw inspiration from the letters of John, guiding us to introspect, confront challenges, and revitalize our faith as we journey with Jesus.

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 // 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.
POSTPONED // PEACE AND JUSTICE / AFTER LUNCH

NEXT SUNDAY // 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.

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.
