FELLOWSHIP

Fellowship Happens Throughout the Year at LACPC

During COVID and just after, fellowship happened differently. We had “drive-thru” events and outdoor events in our parking lot, such as drive-in movie nights, outdoor scavenger hunts and a game show night!  We also had a horse program for the kids! But being back in the Sanctuary and “normalcy” after COVID and the fire damage has been great!  And starting back in 2022, we had a “normal” Holy Week, for the first time since 2019!   

On Palm Sunday, the kids wave palm branches down the aisle and sing a little tune.  Our Easter morning begins with a waffle breakfast, and then an Easter Egg hunt with the release of butterflies! This past year, we had so much snow on Easter, that we had Easter (Take 2) on the following Sunday!

On the last Saturday of April, we have our “Blood, Sweat and Tears Weekend”, as we fix a house as part of our sponsorship with Rebuilding Together, and host a blood drive (by LifeStream) in our Mark Richards Hall.

We also have our annual LACPC “picnic”, which has now turned into a BBQ after Vacation Bible School is over in June, accompanied by our Sundae Sunday!

Our Annual Country Faire, on the Friday and Saturday of Labor Day weekend is always another fun event!  We all work hard to make it happen for the church as it is our main fundraiser for the year!

We also have a Trunk-or-Treat and Scavenger Hunt every year which is a lot of fun for both the children and people handing out candy! It normally includes a dinner, and this year will also include a movie night!

Our Advent Workshop brunch, Christmas Caroling, and other seasonal festive activities are all back in full swing, including sitting on Santa’s lap! 

Our Deacons provide snacks for us after church every Sunday.  And our Session also hosts a breakfast once every six weeks, so our Deacons can have a Sunday off!

This year, for the first time in many years, we had a Congregational Retreat in Big Bear!  It took place on May 17-19, and our Country Faire Committee and was such a hit that we are considering having one in 2025, as well!

We have such amazing volunteers that we were able to plan an All-Church Breakfast in just a couple of weeks, thanks to some visitors from the Midwest.

The members of LACPC really do have fun! Come join us for our future events!!
