Thank you to the Pacific Southwest District for hosting a barbeque dinner for the Cross-Cultural Ministry Center at Concordia-Irvine (CMC). It was good to take a break from the studies and spend some time fellowshipping and visiting with the three district Presidents Gibson (PSD), Lange (CNH), and Linnemann (NW). Thank you to all those who were involved in organizing and preparing this incredible dinner (Holy Smokers bbq!) and time together! And a thank you to the congregations, mentor pastors, and families who have given up their vicars and husbands/fathers during these three weeks. It is such a valuable and important time of learning and growing in theology and as a community.

Salam Ministries, reaching Arabic-speaking and Muslim communities in SoCal, is in need of two cars. One for a member of their community that needs to get back and forth to work and another for their ministry. If you have an extra car you're not using and would like to donate, it will be put to a very good use. If you can help, please email salamsocal@gmail.com.

Registration is now open!  Join us and help to support and make possible the only Christian float in the parade. The 2022 Tournament of Roses parade theme is Dream Achieve Believe and our float is titled Jesus Teaches. The float features Jesus with 12 modern day disciples in a lush, woodland setting. They are surrounded by books of Jesus’ teachings; trail markers noting attributes that guide our daily lives including joy, peace, love and kindness; and a cross firmly fixed to solid rock. LHM invites viewers to experience the hope and love found in Jesus, as well as join the Petal Pushers®, a volunteer group that decorates 8 to 10 Rose Parade floats annually.
