New Class on Emotionally Healthy Relationships

La Crescenta Presbyterian Church is hosting a new class on how to build emotionally healthy relationships based on core Biblical principles. The eight-week course, which is open to the community, began Wednesday, Jan. 19, from 6:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. 

Through weekly videos and small group discussions, participants will develop skills to strengthen relationships with families, spouses, friends and co-workers by exploring such topics as how to stop mind reading and clarify expectations. The cost of course materials is $25. 

The course is part of La Crescenta Presbyterian’s weekly Praise and Education for Adults and Kids (PEAK) program, which includes infant care and classes for children and students of all ages.

Each Wednesday, a delicious and nutritious meal will be served beginning at 5:30 p.m., followed by classes beginning at 6:15 p.m. The cost of dinner is $5 for adults and $4 for kids sixth grade and younger, with a maximum of $20 per family.

La Crescenta Presbyterian is located at 2902 Montrose Ave. in La Crescenta. For more information about PEAK programs, visit lcpc.net or call (818) 249-6137.

Walk and Word

In January, Walk and Word participants will meet in the parking lot of Deukmejian Wilderness Park, 3429 Markridge Road in La Crescenta/Glendale at 8 a.m. on Jan. 22 & 29. Participants will walk for the first hour and then gather to read a selection of Scripture. About a half hour will be spent journaling about what was read and then there will be conversation, sharing thoughts.

Participants are asked to bring something to write with, anything wanted to eat or drink, and a chair to use for the writing part of the morning. Because people will be outdoors and social distancing will be practiced, masks will be optional.

Those with questions can email Jeanne at jnlavieri@earthlink.net.

All are welcome. If the hike is too strenuous, there are level paths at the park. There are ramps from the parking lot to the field where the group gathers after the hike.
