Black History Month Conversation with Victor Andre Greene

We can find a history of Christianity and racism at the geographic and ideological site of the plantation. But like Lucille Clifton’s poem, Won’t You Celebrate with Me, there is also a celebration mapped against the haunt.

Our guest speaker will be VICTOR ANDRE GREENE (He/Him), a Spoken Word Poet + Creative and Editorial Assistant + UCC Licensed Minister + Founder of Room 305 + Community Developer located in Paris, France. After serving as the first and only BIPOC pastor as the American Church in Paris, Victor left and created ROOM 305, a gathering community that uses storytelling to prompt curiosity about ourselves and one another, to practice mindfulness, to seek wholeness, and form expansive ways to be together.

This Black History Month conversation is brought to you by St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Santa Monica, St. Augustine by the Sea and First Presbyterian Church of Santa Monica.

Installation Service for Rev. Tim Vance

Sunday, October 31, 10:00 a.m.
The Presbytery of the Pacific would like to invite everyone to join us as we celebrate, through worship, the Installation of our “New” Pastor – Rev. Tim Vance. We rejoice that God has led Rev. Vance and his family to Santa Monica and to our congregation. Our guest preacher will be Rev. Dr. Sunny Kang from United University Church in LA.

Communion Video

In July and August we will not be taking communion together in worship. Instead, we are offering a short communion service video online for Sunday, July 4 and Sunday, August 1. This will allow all of us to receive communion at home with our own bread and juice or wine.
