Non-violence as a Way of Life
with Mike Kinman
As we become more and more polarized as a society, violence is becoming more common in attitude, speech and action. Drawing from the teachings of Gandhi and Jesus, we will take a look at nonviolence both as a political strategy and as a way of life that can transform the world. Also the role of anger and protest in a nonviolent life and the difference between being nonviolent and peaceful. (Donuts will be served!)
Summer Fun continues on the lawn after the 10:00 a.m. service with — Drag Queen Bingo!
The Forum at 9:00 a.m. is on Summer hiatus until fall.

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.
