On Sunday, April 28th, Mike Kinman preaches at both 7:30 and 10:00 a.m. At the 10:00 a.m. service, Coventry Choir offers Easter Carol by Pinkham. ASL interpretation is available at 10:00.

Today’s Featured Ministry is EfM (Education for Ministry). EfM (Education for Ministry) is a four-year group seminar committed to equipping members to face the difficult and often subtle task of interpreting the richness of the church’s faith in a complex and confusing world. It provides a theological education which both supports faith and also teaches means to express that faith in day-to-day events. If digging deeper into biblical texts, church history and theology in a systematic program undergirded by theological reflection and small group community appeals to you, EfM may be just your thing! Visit the EfM table on the lawn!

9:00 a.m. in the Forum: “The Future Needs Armor. Ukraine: Yesterday and Today”
with Valeria Shpak
Valeria Shpak is a Ukrainian actress, who was born and grew up in Sevastopol, a city in the south of Ukraine, which has been occupied by Russia since 2014. She was forced to move from her home at that time. Valeria earned university degrees in Computer Engineering and Acting, and was successfully pursuing her acting career when, again in 2022, she was forced to flee her home with the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Valeria says: “Ukraine is cooler than you can imagine, for many reasons beyond its brave fight for freedom. Why is it important to support Ukraine? What impact do Ukrainians have on the world? How can we help today? Unity is the power to change the world for the better.”

For in-person worship, our guiding principle remains to follow common sense risk reduction guidance for as long as we remain in a declared public health pandemic, so to keep our community safe and well, our in-person worship guidelines include:

• (as of 1/30/23) Because Los Angeles County, including Pasadena, currently have low levels of COVID-19, masks are recommended, but not required, for everyone indoors.
• Masks are optional outdoors.
• Both outdoor and indoor seating is available for services and communion will be served in both locations.
• Our expectation is that those entering the church will be vaccinated (if vaccination is available to them)
• Those who choose to be unvaccinated are requested to participate online.
• Those seated indoors are asked to maintain social distance between individuals/households.
• If we reach seating capacity in the church, ushers will guide you to alternative seating areas.
• We ask you not enter if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: fever over 100.4°F or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, or if you have had contact in the last 14 days with someone diagnosed with or suspected to have COVID- 19.
