2020 | Christmas Season

from the Desk of the Pastor

In person worship Services continue to be temporarily cancelled. We have no definite re-opening date but it appears it will at least not be until the Spring of 2021 based on increasing cases in Southern California For our virtual services, we have incorporated a plan to check the temperature and have a health check form be completed before anyone enters the sanctuary. This is done for the safety of our members during this period of increased cases in our city. We thank our Holy Light Ushers for their work in providing their services in this area. We also thank Traci Hollis in preparing the signs for inside and outside our church building. Please continue to be safe and encouraged during this time.

Please note that on the Holy Light MBC Facebook account there is a live service at 9:00am every Sunday morning. The recording of the services are on the Holy Light face book page as well as the Holy Light website holylightmbc.org.

Sermon Sunday

December 6, 2020

We celebrate the Christmas Season.

For the next 3 Sundays – I will be delivering messages in a Sermon Series “The Gift Exchange”

In this season we like to exchange gifts with one another but these messages will focus on gifts that we can give to God and he can give us a much better gift in return. 1st Sermon Subject: Give God Your Worry and He Will Give You Peace

Matthew 6:25-33

Please note in the message we worry about a lot of things.

Finances, Food, Fashion, Foundation (residence) All that worry gets us nowhere.

This message says that if we put God first then all things will be added to us. We need to remember to seek for his righteousness and not our righteousness.

Be Blessed by the Word of God

Please consider donations to the Los Angeles Resource Food Bank

Hunger has many faces! $25 = 100 meals

Community support enables the Food Bank to serve more than 300,000 people every month. Approximately one-quarter of our food goes to children, and roughly one-fifth ends up in the hands of older adults. It is estimated that only 10% of our food goes to the homeless, but this is an important population for us. The majority of our food goes to low-income families and individuals who sometimes struggle to make ends meet in this expensive location that we all call home. We plan to give a church donation from our Mission in December and if you want to give a donation to the church we will add to our church donation.
