La Crescenta Presbyterian Opens Doors for Public Worship

La Crescenta Presbyterian Church opened its doors for weekly public worship on Sunday, June 14. Three in-person worship opportunities are offered, all following social distancing and sanitation guidelines set forth by the state and county.

At the 9 a.m. contemporary service, worshipers may gather in the LCPC sanctuary or in the outdoor courtyard. The outdoor location offers a friendly, worshipful setting for those seeking a higher level of precaution: temperatures will be taken, distancing will be greater and masks will be mandatory.

Worshipers at the 9 a.m. services will enjoy music by The Blessed, the same band featured in LCPC services posted at lcpc.net every Sunday. At 11 a.m., worshipers will enjoy classical music in the LCPC sanctuary.

At all in-person services, families with children or youth are invited to worship together. Separate rooms adjacent to the services will be available for young children and parents.

For those who wish to worship online, La Crescenta Presbyterian will continue to post services at lcpc.net.

For more information about LCPC policies to protect the health and safety of our congregation, visit lcpc.net. La Crescenta Presbyterian Church, located at 2902 Montrose Ave. in La Crescenta, can be reached by phone at (818) 249-6137.
