Two weeks in a row, the Deaconess and I have had the privilege of visiting our sick and shut-in members, bringing them Holy Communion.

We are reminded that ministry doesn’t stop at the sanctuary doors, sometimes, it shows up at the bedside. In those moments we don’t just bring elements—we bring the presence, the love, and the reminder that they are not forgotten.

As many of you know, several members of First Church Pasadena were devastated and lost their homes due to the Eaton Fire on January 7, 2025. The Pasadena/Altadena community has continued to come together to support the many families impacted.

I am happy to announce that, due to our ongoing efforts and commitment to serving those in need, First AME Zion Church Pasadena has been awarded a $155,000 grant from the California Community Foundation through the Community Healing & Restoration initiative. This work will focus on the emotional, spiritual, and social well-being of our community.

God continues to open doors, and we are committed to walking through them with purpose, compassion, and impact.

Let’s continue to pray, serve, and stand together, because healing is happening, and restoration is on the way.

Resurrection Sunday Recap – First Church Pasadena 🙌🏾

From the joy-filled Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, where our babies laughed, played, and were simply a delight, to a powerful Resurrection Sunday worship experience, God truly moved.

Grateful for our church family, our community, and all that God is doing in this season. The glory is still being revealed!
