Celebrations and Reforms
Every week I am reminded how fortunate I am to serve this congregation. This past Wednesday, New Name Pictures held a very successful fundraiser party. Approximately 50 people came together to celebrate the first six months of our media ministry and also the 30th birthday of our media ministry director, Julia Alty. Everyone had a great time and we raised nearly $2000 toward New Name Pictures. Special thanks to everyone who came out to support and especially those who but so much effort into making the event happen!
Tomorrow is the LA Voice Immigration Action at the Westside JCC. Please see the announcement here in the bulletin for all the details. Whether Comprehensive Immigration Reform is something you understand well and you’ve formed your opinions already, or if this is an issue you don’t know much about but would like to understand it from a faith-based perspective, please join us tomorrow at 3:00 pm and hear powerful testimonies and research reports about how immigration reform would impact our community and the families we represent.
We’re about midway through our year. In the next few weeks I want to give you a progress report on where we stand as a congregation. In the meantime, please prayerfully consider how God is leading you to support the work of the Hollywood Church with your gifts, talents, finances and prayer.

1I think I speak not too strongly when I say that a church in the land without the Spirit of God is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember you stand in somebody else’s way; you are a tree bearing no fruit, standing where another fruitful tree might grow.

2Eric,
You’ve touched on something that’s essential the mission and identity of this church. We believe that this congregation is a place where God’s Holy Spirit is given space to transform lives–in our hearts, our relationships, and in our neighbourhoods. We couldn’t accomplish anything without the Spirit of God and the Grace of Christ.
What prompted your response? Have you had experiences with churches that, sadly, stand in the way rather than being bread and water for those in need?
Peace be with you,
Scott
