This week's announcements:
Good morning and happy Sunday! Welcome to our December 1st, 2019 service from La Jolla Presbyterian Church.
Today Rev. Scott Mitchell is preaching. Scott’s sermon is titled, “In the Halls of the Mountain King” it’s the first week of the Advent sermon series titled, “Making Room”. Today we’re looking at Isaiah chapter 2, verses 1-5. This Advent we’re talking about hospitality, and making room for others, just as Christ makes room for us. If you would like to connect with our church, you can find our website at LJPres.org. We hope to see lives transformed by a relationship with Jesus, and we strive to be a place where you experience and are able to express that transforming love of Christ.
The holidays can be a difficult time for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. If you’ve experienced a loss this year, and the holidays are looking different, we invite you to our Blue Christmas service of Remembrance Friday, December 6th, at 3pm in room LC1 & the Chapel. Family members and friends are welcome. Please RSVP to Laura Mitchell at mitchls4@gmail.com.
