from Altadena Community Church
Unleash your inner singer with ACC's informal summer choir, any Sunday in August. All are welcome. The choir meets at 8:45 a.m. to prepare a simple anthem for that day. Dress is casual—no matching required. Choir director Wendy Caldwell helps singers sound good! ACC is at 943 E. Altadena Drive, just east of the Chevron station.
Sunday worship begins at 10 AM. On Aug. 4, Pastor Joe McGowan will preach from Amos 2:4-16, an invitation to a different kind of refueling. Summer nutrition is the topic for the 11:30 AM adult class, led by a registered dietician, and childcare and Sunday school are available.
On Saturday, Aug. 10, 9:30 AM-2 PM, women are invited to join the ACC women's retreat, "What Jesus' Grandmothers Say About Him," led by the Rev. Barbara Anderson. Anderson is a writer and Presbyterian minister with degrees from Harvard Divinity School and McCormick Theological School in Chicago. Come for Bible study, conversation, joy, and challenge in exploring why four women are included in Jesus' genealogy, an honor usually reserved for men. These grandmothers of Jesus were foreigners, outsiders, and non-traditional members of society who put everything on the line for faithfulness to God. The cost is $10, with snacks and lunch provided. Call the church office at (626) 798-1185 (weekday mornings) if you have questions or to RSVP.
