ANNOUNCEMENTS

SEPTEMBER SERIES. My Church, My Reflection: Jesus & the Churches of Revelation (Revelation 1-3). The revelator John, in vision, is shown seven churches spread across space and time, each faced with different challenges and circumstances, yet all attended to by the same Jesus. As we investigate each image, which reflects our own personal situation? Which church does our community most resonate with? What promises and aspects of Jesus are being declared for us today?

SERIES RECOMMENDED RESOURCES.

SABBATH SCHOOL. Our Adult Sabbath School classes have resumed their 10 am start time on Sabbath morning.  They are a hybrid in person and Zoom class for those worshipping remotely.  If you would like to join a Sabbath morning class, please email info@hollywoodsda.org and you will be directed to the teachers.

IN MEMORY. In loving memory of our friend, Jeffrey Bjornberg, we are hosting a memorial service at our church on September 11 at 3pm. Please join us to celebrate this extraordinary person. He is sincerely missed.

DONATIONS NEEDED FOR COMPASSION CONNECTION. Do you have clothes you don’t need anymore? We maintain a donation-based clothing closet to provide freshly washed clothes to our shower guests needing a clean change.

The event will be Saturday afternoon, September 18, in the church parking lot with setup starting at 2pm. If you need these resources, know people who do, or you would like to help out please speak with Andrew in the lobby after the service today.

PHONES OUT ON SABBATH. Join the church discord server to keep in touch with other members of the community. Sabbath mornings you can connect with people worshipping remotely. Staying connected to each other can be difficult even as we transition back to being more in person. discord.hollywoodadventist.org.
