Pali Pres/Brentwood Pres VBS Diaper Drive

We invite you to bring your diaper donations and place them in the basket located in the narthex on Sunday morning, marked with the giant baby flyer below. Your generosity will support the VBS 2025 mission component, aiding the vital efforts of the Hope On Union Food Pantry. This essential ministry feeds and meets the basic needs of individuals living in and around Skid Row. Together, let us join forces with Brentwood Presbyterian for this impactful cause. Here is a link to Hope On Union.

Good News Corner

“Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?” - Rose Kennedy

The resilience of God’s green earth has been undeniable in the wake of the Palisades Fire. There are flowers blooming where infinite tears rained. Grass is overtaking steel and slate.

Stephanie Hubsch sent us this picture of some Red Shouldered Hawks who made their home in a tree that was scheduled to be removed by the Army Corps of Engineers. Red Shouldered Hawks are protected by state and national law, so the work is halted until the baby hawks can leave the nest.

The hawks’ home is their home, no matter what.

Where in the World

Sadly, much of our church family has been scattered far and wide due to the the Palisades fire. Yet, we remain a singular body of faith and fellowship under Christ. This is by no means an accident! God has worked through all of us to remain united amidst the chaos, inspiring us to take the extra steps needed to stay connected.

In this light, we invite everyone to participate in our new ‘Where in the World’ initiative! If you feel so moved, please download and print the ‘We Love You Pali Pres’ image HERE. Take a picture of yourself/your family holding the picture at your new (or temporary) residence, and email it to Operations Manager Will Saunders, along with your full name, location, and any other details you’d like to share! You and your photo will then be featured in an upcoming Pali Pres Community Update!

You Can Be a Snack Angel!

We have been blessed the last few months by so many churches, friends, and organizations who have donated food and funds for our coffee fellowship hour after church.

We are looking for volunteers from within our own Pali Pres community. Many of you have mentioned that you would like to be a snack angel, and we are so grateful! On the snack table each Sunday is a sign up sheet for you to select a date to provide snacks for our church family.

If you are unable to physically pick up and deliver the snacks yourself, please make a note next to your name and you can donate $100 to cover the cost of all the food for one Sunday. This donation can also be made online HERE. Please contact Elder Lynnette Shishido, our snack captain, or Pastor Grace for more information and to sign up! Please join us for this important ministry to our church family!

We are so thankful to last Sunday’s snack angel, Karen Roswell, for graciously providing coffee and refreshments. What a blessing! This week’s refreshments are provided by Cynthia Block & Lynn Anderson! Jan Gong and Lynette Shishido will also be helping!
