A MESSAGE FROM THE CO-PASTORS
Today, we are called to live God's love,
first made known in a very different era and culture, with the same courage
and vision that ignited the earliest Christians. We, like they, are
summoned in our unique time to love one another, to work for peace and
justice, to welcome the stranger, to be fed at the table of our Lord and to
preach and live the word of God. Our vision is holding fast to the
best of our tradition, living God's love with imagination unleashed, and
believing God is preparing a glorious future for Pasadena Presbyterian
Church.
