Open Door Sunday - July 15

Open Door Sunday is coming July 15th at FUMC Pasadena 

The FUMC Pasadena Arts Committee invites you to Open Door Sunday - a mid day event featuring food, music and art in the Colorado Blvd., patio following worship on July 15 from 11 to 12:30pm. 

Our goal is to meet and get to know our neighbors and live our creed of "open heart, open mind, open door!"  We encourage everyone to bring family and friends to help us welcome the community and introduce them to our inviting church.

Artwork displayed will come from our members and from class given by our very own congregation.

Music by the Jazz Afro beat ensemble Earthcake will on hand as will a number of children's activities such as face painting and a sanctuary scavenger hunt for families.  Docent tours of the nearly 100 year old historic church will also be made available.

Following the Open Door celebration, be sure to stay for the Arnel DePano performance at 1pm.

VBS gets set to begin

Pasadena, CA - This year, the pastors and clergy will present an exciting Vacation Bible School at First United Methodist Church is just about to begin, running from July 9 to 13, 2012.  

Partnering with the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity, this year's program will focus on getting Pasadena's children excited about serving and volunteering in their community.  

Designed by Lauren Klapp, Faith Relations Intern with the SGV Habitat for Humanity, says of the program that "...the education about our neighborhood’s poverty as well as what children and  families can do to help is a great lesson in general. And, of course, the metaphor of a ‘strong foundation in Christ’ demonstrated by home construction is just right for young minds!”

 

The program runs July 9-13, 2012 from 9:00 AM till 12 NOON daily, for children age 3 through 6th grade.  Sign-ups are still available through the church office at 500 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena CA, 91101.  For more information, contact the church office by phone at 626-796-0157, or contact Rev. Debbie Gara at dgara@fumcpasadena.org, or Anne Dimmock at thejollypack@gmail.com.

We hope you can join us for a special summer VBS program that shares in the ministry of Habitat for Humanity
