Sunday topics range from marriage, finances and raising kids to spiritual welfare and joy. You’re bound to find something interesting to ponder. Crescenta Valley Church is at 4011 La Crescenta Ave., www.cvchurch.com. Plus they’re hosting a free Easter egg hunt this Saturday at 10 a.m. at Two Strike Park.
