TODAY // HOLLYWOOD CULTURE PARADE
Due to the Hollywood Culture Parade today, we will worship together with a shortened service. Afterwards, we're all invited to join in the community celebrations, mingle with the parade participants, and lend a hand in cleaning our streets by collecting trash. It's a great opportunity to come together and make a positive impact!
TODAY // THE WAY OF EXILE
Discover how faith, resilience, and hope can thrive in EVERY challenging circumstance, just as they did for Jeremiah, Daniel, Jesus, and John. Join us for this three-month series designed to strengthen your faith in Jesus in any and every situation you face.
THE BOOK OF DANIEL RESOURCES AVAILABLE
This year we are looking at the direction the book of Daniel gives us to combat the injustices in the world and make peace in our own spheres. The last time we as church studied through the book of Daniel, three years ago, we went deep into the stories themselves. If you'd like to journey through those sermons, you can find them on our YouTube channel in the Daniel sermon playlist CLICK HERE. And if you'd like to hear experts on Daniel discuss the intricacies of the stories and prophecies of this incredible book, just go to Daniel.HollywoodAdventist.org

APOCALYPSE SERIES // JULY
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!
