PPPC Congregational Meeting - Sunday, June 7th

The Annual Meeting of the Pacific Palisades Presbyterian Church congregation will be held on Sunday, June 7th immediately following the 2:30pm worship service in the Garden Room at Brentwood Pres. During the meeting we will hear reports from the Finance Committee and the Nominating Committee.  We will elect a new Nominating Committee for 2026-2027, as well as new officers (Deacons and Elders) whose terms begin July 1. We will also hear updates related to our church's recovery (this will be in lieu of the monthly online Congregational Forum for June)

All PPPC members and friends are encouraged to attend (only members can vote, however).

 
 

It’s Nominating Season at Pali Pres!

The work of the Pali Pres Nominating Committee is underway as we seek to discern whom God is calling to serve our congregation as a Deacon, Elder, or member of the 2026 Nominating Committee. Your prayers and input are vital to our work. Beginning today, you will find a Nomination Form in the weekly newsletter (see the link below). Utilize this form to nominate one or more persons to any of these leadership roles or, should you feel an inner call to serve our congregation yourself, we welcome self-nominations.

Click HERE to view and complete the Nomination Form.

Good News Corner

On April 11th, playing with the Perth Metro Pipe Band, Pali Pres member and bagpiper Alexander Walker won first place at the Australian Pipe Band Championships!  Australia has an excellent pipe band scene and its Championships are a tough, big-time competition with a lot of great players and bands.  This year the Championships were held in Perth, Western Australia, and included bands from all over Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.  Pictured left to right after the announcement of the winners are Alexander, Pipe Major James Cowie with the Greg Gordon Champion Pipe Band flag attached to his bass drone, and Altadena piper Justin Celek, a good friend of Alexander who also travelled to Australia to play at the Championships with Perth Metro.  If you would like to hear the band’s winning performances, click here.  Slàinte mhath!
