The groups provide a forum for discussion of the observation of the season of Lent and a time to deepen the spiritual journey in preparation for Easter. Study materials are selected and made available for nominal purchase by the Spiritual Nurture Committee. Participants meet on Sunday afternoons or evening, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday nights for 10 weeks beginning mid-March and continuing through mid-May. Most meetings are in homes. Group members often agree to continue to meet beyond this period, and form lasting friendships and ongoing covenant groups. Los Angeles Children's Chorus (LACC) Los Angeles Children's Chorus (LACC), under the Artistic Direction of Anne Chesher Tomlinson, was founded by Directors Rebecca Thompson of Pasadena Presbyterian Church, and Stephanie Naifeh of All Saints Church in 1986. Housed at PPC continuously since that time, this Chorus has gained a national reputation for excellence as the standard bearer for community children's choirs in Southern California. LACC has become a thriving non-profit organization that provides choral training and performance opportunities for over 200 vocally talented community children in several choirs. This fine auditioned ensemble plays an active role in the greater Los Angeles cultural community. LACC rehearses regularly in the PPC Music Department and periodically presents concerts in the church sanctuary.
