Join us for our special Christmas prayer
vigil on Monday,
December 16, at the Julia Morgan YWCA (across from the First Baptist Church) from
5-6:30 pm. This vigil will be led by Pastors Juanita and Carlton Edwards of the
Pasadena Community Christian Fellowship. This church does amazing work to help
feed those who are low-income or homeless by providing tons of fresh food
gleaned from grocery stores and farmer’s markets every Thursday. They also
operate two Christian discipleship homes for spiritual support during transitions
in their lives. The Edwards have a deep commitment to Christ and to loving our
homeless neighbors.
You are also invited to
our Homeless Subcommittee Holiday Potluck Party from 7 – 9 pm at our home, 1638 N
Garfield Ave. This is a time to celebrate our successes, get to know each other
better, and envision how we can end homelessness in our city.
Finally, remember to sign
up for the homeless count which will take place on Tuesday, January 21 at
8:30 pm. https://pasadenapartnership.org/volunteer-homeless-count/
On that
same night, from 6-8 pm, the Greater Pasadena Affordable Housing Group
(GPAHG) will host a Candidates Forum at Orange Grove Quaker
Meeting, 520 E Orange Grove Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91104.
