The meeting was held at the beautiful First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, on the corner of Commonwealth and 6th, pictured below in the reflection of the building across the street. This church was independent until 2017 when they chose to affiliate with the United Church of Christ. Pastor Marlene took a picture of the building, the first "all-reflective glass building in the country."  (LA Times Aug. 25, 2004) It was also the building where Marlene's father had an office when they first moved to Los Angeles in 1968. We just learned that long-term church member Jacquie Langdon passed away in May of this year. We pulled out her file in our church office and discovered an article about her late husband Robert Langdon Jr. who passed away in 2004. Turns out the Robert's architectural firm designed the glass building! Small world. The Langdons joined FCC Pasadena in 1951. It is heart-warming to think of all the special things current and former members of FCC Pasadena have contributed to Pasadena and the wider community.
