Workshop, Fundraisers Planned
The Center for Spiritual Living – La Crescenta is hosting a Bernard Isley workshop, “Experience: Turning Negative to Positive” on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Through the use of knowledge and experience of energy and vibration, Bernard Ilsley helps to turn people’s lives around from negative to positive with the use of ancient mantras and meditation. Individuals can use these tools and their own increased intuition through such practices to attract positive energy and the results they need in all areas of life for happiness and success; emotionally, materially and spiritually.

Donation is $30. To make reservations or for further information, call Laney Clevenger-White at (818) 353-6628.

Wednesday PEAK Program Continues
La Crescenta Presbyterian Church Wednesday night PEAK (Praise, Education for Adults and Kids) continues. There is a dinner offered from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and classes from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The dinner costs $3 for adults, $2 for children or $10 for an entire family. Classes are offered for all ages from age 2 through junior high. Nursery care is provided. This fall for adults there will be three classes offered.

Lee Cook will lead a class called “Back to the Future Church: Ancient Faith, Future Mission.” This new class will address the rapid changes that are going on in society – changes both apparent and some much more subtle.  Many notice changing attitudes toward worship styles and dress, but most do not notice the more radical changes such as a move away from denominational affiliation, the move away from the “professional” clergy and a closing gap between Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox Christians. While there are many prognosticators, no one really knows what the church will look like in 20-30 years. The last time the church saw upheaval of this magnitude was during the Protestant Reformation.

Back to the Future Church will focus on the Book of Acts and how the Apostles dealt with challenges similar to the ones we face today. This class will run every Wednesday through Nov. 16.
