UPCOMING EVENTS
APRIL WORSHIP SERIES // “AS ADVERTISED”
As Jesus walked among us, He made promises that addressed our fears of what is to come. Jesus showed us that we can have faith in God’s promises by embodying them in His own life, even in the toughest of times. Jesus’ promises are still for us today, if we will learn and trust them.
UPCOMING SERIES IN MAY // “HOPE & MERCY”
Get Your Hebrews Study Bible for our upcoming series starting in May! The web domain Pastor.Branden.Link will take you to the page where you'll find the ESV journal Bibles just for Hebrews with two cover options plus other recommended resources from Pastor Branden.
FACING DEPRESSION WITH TRUE BEAUTY
NEW DATE // Saturday, May 6th / 5:00pm / Dr. Brian Chan shares, through God’s Word, how true beauty can fight back the darkness that clouds the mind and the heaviness that drags down the heart. RSVP by April 30: connect@hollywoodsda.org.
WINTER SHELTER IS BACK!
Hollywood Presbyterian has restarted their winter shelter as a SPRING SHELTER from April 17 to June 15. We have the opportunity to join other Hollywood congregations in providing dinner and after-dinner activities during this time period. Each church signs up for the evenings it is able to provide a meal. If you wish to cook, help serve or organize an activity, please let Kirsten Salvador, our coordinator for Hollywood SDA dinner teams, know.
