TOMORROW NIGHT the fellowship hall of Altadena Valley Presbyterian will be transformed into a showcase of the greatest display of talent that has ever been assembled! It has been nine years since our church had what was billed then as an UN-TALENT show. Now, the Yakama mission trip team is proud to bring you the second UN-TALENT show that is well worth the decade wait! Do you like singing? We’ve got you covered. Maybe you’re more of a fan of instrumentals. Check. Not a music fan but more of a live comedy person? You won’t be disappointed. Now, I can tell, there are a few of you thinking right now, “yeah, but what I really want is a puppet show with magic.” Well, May 21 will be your lucky day! Desserts and snacks will be served by the Yakama mission trip team members, who are also doing the behind the scenes work to make this night memorable. Admission is free but there will be an opportunity to tip your servers, with all proceeds going to help send our team of 30 out to Washington state in July. Make plans to join us at 6:30 PM in the fellowship hall for a night of food, fellowship, and fun! |

Every great mystery needs a great detective to tackle it, tame it, and reveal the truth. Join us this summer as WACK welcomes the greatest detective of all time, the hero of countless books and movies! (Wait… We didn’t actually get that guy did we? Really? All right then!)
Come help us explore what God, worship, and mysteries all have in common with one another. Will you find the clues and deduce the answers like a true Sherlock, or will you stumble across the answers by sheer-luck? Either way, get ready for a fun-filled adventure that will surely be something to write Holmes about!
Registrations are now open for this year’s WACK week, July 5-8. Grab a pamphlet from the Welcome Center or Parlor or you can register on our website, HERE

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Some have expressed interest in the past in the overtures that come before our annual denomination, referred to as the General Assembly. An overture is simply a request for action that some member of our denomination or a court of our church thinks the General Assembly should take. That Assembly will take place here in Birmingham on June 21-24. If you are interested, you can check out these overtures by following THIS LINK.

MISSION TRIP OPPORTUNITY
Jeremy Martin has contacted us about a unique opportunity to serve his ministry in London this summer! He is looking for a team of eight adults to help repair the ministry house in Southall, London. This team will be made up of people from other churches, not just AVPC.
For many years the ministry house's doors have been opened to Asylum Seekers, Refugees, or people who needed help getting back on their feet. All who come to the house receive an open invitation and the love of Jesus. Now, parts of the exterior have become damaged and are in need of repair. The project will consist of painting, construction, and landscaping at the property. There will also be guided exploration of Southall and even opportunities to share Jesus with local residents.
Dates of Trip:
August 20 - 27, 2022 (depart US on August 19)
Per Person cost of trip:
$1550 + airfare (includes room, meals, ground transportation, building material and local labor). If you are interested please contact Jeremy Martin:
