This Week's Announcements:
Coming up January 25th and 26th we have an amazing speaker visiting La Jolla Pres. Deborah Haarsma is the president of BioLogos, and previously served as professor and chair in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. On Thursday, Jan 26th she will be speaking as part of our STEAM series to college and post-grad students, and then on January 26th we’ll have an all Church dinner at 6:00pm in Fellowship Hall followed at 7:00pm by “An Evening with Deborah Haarsma, ‘The Universe Declares the Glory of God’”. Tickets for dinner are on sale in the courtyard, or just come for the talk at 7:00pm. Each evening’s topics will be different, so you may want to attend both. For more information, contact Jennifer Gotenstein, at Jennifer.Gotenstein@gmail.com
Then, on Sunday, Jan. 28th, come back to church for an evening of Worship and Music at 4:00pm. This reflective and meditative service will feature a variety of music, featuring our Choirs and Praise Team, plus scripture readings, and time in prayer and community. Come be blessed and start the year lifting our voices together to God. This service will reflect the same themes as Dr. Haarsma’s talks, but through the Worship and Arts lens.
Rev. Scott Mitchell will be presenting a Grief Share class on Thursdays from Jan. 18th through April 19 to help those struggling with the recent loss of a loved one. The class will meet from 3:30 to 5:00pm, in room LC-5. The cost is $25 for materials. RSVP to Scott at 858-729-5595 or scottm@ljpres.org.
