Join us for a thought-provoking Sunday Forum with special guest the Rev. Carla Robinson as she discusses “The Intersection Between Black & Queer Liberation” on this Juneteenth during Pride. This special event will be moderated by Thomas Diaz. As we honor the rich history of Juneteenth and celebrate the spirit of Pride, Rev. Robinson will share her insights on how we can better understand the crossroads between these two critical movements. This is sure to be a lively and engaging conversation, so please come prepared to learn, ask questions, and engage with others on this important topic. We look forward to seeing you!

Also following the 10:00 a.m. service, join the Racial Justice Ministry in celebration of Juneteenth with cake on the lawn! The Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, but it was not implemented in places still under Confederate control. In Texas, enslaved people would not be free until June 19, 1865, when 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as Juneteenth.

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.
