Table Theology: A Conversation Over Casual Food and Drink at a
Local Restaurant

Bryan Jones, vicar of St. Luke’s of the Mountains Episcopal Church, will be holding the first of seven monthly meetings on The Big 7 Questions that every Christian needs to answer for her/himself. The conversation will start with the first question Who is God? On Thursday, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. at Zen Restaurant, 2650 Foothill Blvd. in La Crescenta. All are invited – committed Christians, spiritual but not religious, still seeking, not sure – wherever you are on your journey come share in what will be a very open and casual conversation.

Mid-Week Programs Begin at La Crescenta Presbyterian Church

The Wednesday night programs for all ages called PEAK (Praise, Education for Adults and Kids) will begin on Jan. 19. A home-cooked dinner is provided each week for a nominal donation from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and the classes for all ages run from 6:30-8:00 p.m. There are three new classes for adults being offered.

The first class is called “Love and Logic” and will be led by Center for Children Director Pat Chambers. It will be offered for 12 weeks. Love and Logic is a philosophy of raising children that allows adults to be happier, empowered and more skilled in the interactions with children. The Love and Logic techniques produce immediate results because the techniques are simple, practical, and easy to learn.

The second class being offered is called “Foundations for Families” and is for couples and singles in their 20s, 30s and 40s.  The class will be led by a team including Pastor Andy Wilson and will begin by studying the book “Crazy Love.” The third class is a study on the Book of John led by Lee Cook.

All classes are free, nursery care is provided and all ages from Pre-K through junior high have active fellowship groups during the class time from 6:30-8:00 p.m.
