East Ave Church Loop Podcast

Well, today, in addition to the care and handling of snakes for worship, we reflected on the beginning of Lent this year, the upcoming events of Holy Week, the youth trip to Sonoma to work for Pastor Scott Pryor, summer camps, First Saturday Dinner, The Insider's Club and the All Member's Meeting.

Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday and our open mic night! Then Ash Wednesday. Lent is upon us! You can find more at https://eastave.church.

This Valentine's Day episode covers all the things in the Loop this weekend! The top things on our minds are Fat Tuesday, coming up on February 25, and Ash Wednesday, starting the Season of Lent on February 26. There's a bunch of other stuff, too. We talk about how the all church study is going and about some of the projects the groups are doing!

The East Ave Church in Chico, CA, prints 12 pages of information every weekend so we won't have to take up worship time for lengthy announcements. And yet we need to! So, we put it into a weekly podcast! 

We are back for 2020! In this episode we talk about the getting ready for the Season of Advent, as well as events for January, like the Wonder Woman's Day Off and a few youth events.

Here at the East Ave Church we always have a lot of community announcements, yet we really don't want take up worship time to explain the things we have already written down, formatted, printed and distributed! So, the idea sprang up to talk about what is important to our community. Hence this podcast!
