You are invited to join this discussion group every Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. in the Green Room downstairs.

This is a safe place to come together to discuss the issues of our lives and the ways in which we hear God's still speaking voice. Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts, their laughter, their love.

We will read Scriptures and share our thoughts while sipping tea and nibbling finger foods.

This will be a great opportunity to get to know each other better…beyond just our names and faces…through personal conversations and Bible discussions. The best part is that you do not need any knowledge of the Bible to participate.

Pastor Art often says, “We don’t just read the Bible, but the Bible reads us.” Learning what happened in the stories of the Bible is not as important as knowing how we feel and think about them. Whether we agree or disagree, we will seek a deeper understanding of God and us.

We will continue our conversation by reflecting on the theme, “Be Obedient,” from Judges 6 and 7.

We hope you will come and “Have A Little Tea With Us.”

Let’s spend Saturday, March 20, together at nearby Monrovia Canyon Park. Intergenerational activities for all physical abilities and interests will be available, including a hike/nature walk led by Dave Van Horsen, board games and crafts at the lodge, quiet time to enjoy God’s creation, and a theatrical experience (drama/comedy/reader’s theater) led by Warren Scherffius.

Scott Cameron will bring us a brief keynote devotional/Bible study and Alex Loutsion will lead us in singing. The schedule is relaxed with an emphasis on socializing and enjoying the great outdoors (weather-permitting).

Our time together begins at 10:00 a.m. and ends around 5:00 p.m. Early risers can arrive at 9:00 for breakfast, coordinated by Bret and Michelle Naylor.

The cost is $10.00 per person, with a cap of $20.00 per family, but if that’s a hardship, we can work something out. We do need a headcount to plan for lunch and snacks, and also parking is limited, so please touch base with Kim Van Horsen or Cathy Kotowski to register.

The prolific and beautiful work of our own resident artist, Vivienne Oldknow will be on display and for sale at San Marino Stationers shop, located at 2140 Huntington Drive in San Marino from 10am to 5pm Monday through Saturday.

The Oldknow Art Show will run through mid-April - don't miss your chance to see and purchase some beautiful art from somebody you actually know!

(Please note: work pictured here may not be included in the show and may not be for sale.)

Meet Mark Bellison. He’s a quiet, desperate little loser who lives in a parallel universe where everyone always tells the truth about everything—a world without fibbing, flattery, or even fiction. On the worst day of Mark’s life, his brain suddenly experiences a radical new way of thinking, and he discovers the concept of lying.

Come share his comic, cosmic odyssey as he becomes a modern-day prophet to a society that’s curiously soulless. It’s a sweet, funny, provocative, subversive tale with much to challenge us about our own beliefs and ethics.

Starring Ricky Gervais (who co-wrote and co-directed with Matthew Robinson), Jennifer Garner, Tina Fey, Rob Lowe, and a plethora of cameos by some powerhouse actors, last year’s The Invention of Lying will have you looking at our world in new ways for years to come.

Join up with other adult Spirit and the Screen fans as we welcome special guest Barack Obama on Saturday, March 27th, at 6:45 p.m. at the home of Bruce and Susan Jakubowski-Weiner for a delicious lobster and caviar dinner and a screening of The Invention of Lying.

RSVP to Susan for your chance to win a jewel-encrusted Rolls Royce and so that we can be sure to have a place for you. (Okay, some of that stuff might have been slightly untrue.)

Please do bring a mature friend to share in an evening of film, food, and fellowship at Susan’s on the 27th. This film is rated PG-13.

Food First EVERY Sunday

The Late Elizabeth Rose Cameron

“Several weeks ago Pastor Art talked about how powerful we are as individuals.

The Deacons want to challenge our power as a church. We have been participating in a program called Food First Sunday, bringing food and money to share with those in need on the first Sunday of the month.

What if our church got in the habit of bringing something—a canned good and/or change, every Sunday! How much could we collect in a month’s time?? How much would we have to share with those in our congregation, those who come by our church, and those in our wider community?? Please put a can by your purse or some extra change next to your wallet every Sunday and drop it in the collection boxes that will be available at the back of the church. Canned goods will also be accepted every Sunday in the baskets provided for your donations. Thanks!!”
-Liz Cameron, Deacon
