The•Pastor's•Pen-----April 23, 2006
Chapter 16, verse 6 in Mark says: “Don’t be alarmed, “ (said a young man dressed in white), “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He Has Risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.”
Jesus said, I am the resurrection and I am life.
Those who believe in me, even though they die, yet shall they live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
I died and behold I am alive for evermore, and I hold the keys of hell and death.
Because I live, you shall live also.
He has Risen, indeed!

In addition to all this work, Sam Goody, a local Boy Scout working on his Eagle project, has given our playground some much need attention with the addition of gravel and sand for the sand boxes.

The Gracious Giving box is in the church's foyer. All donated items go to LA Cares, a non-profit organization that helps the needy in LA County. We have homeless people and people that are just getting by. There is a list of items that would be appreciated but all non-perishable foods are needed. Currently there is a great need for personal items, such as diapers, deodorant, soaps, shampoos, shaving cream, sanitary napkins, dental floss and toothpaste. Thank you so much!
