Dr Suuqiina and the Days of Remembrance in April

Dr. Suuqiina will be teaching at St Jude's in the sanctuary on Wednesday, April 17 at 7:30 p.m. If you've heard Dr. Suuqiina teach on Hebrew idioms and the Names of God before, you know this will be well-worth attending. If you haven't, then hurry up and join us for this one!!

And on April 23 at 7:45 p.m., we will have the Days of Remembrance event for the city of Burbank, commemorating the Holocaust. This year Temple Beth Emet will be hosting (600 N. Buena Vista St, Burbank, CA 91505).

God's Good Humor

Allow me to wax philosophical for a moment: how could we have a sense of humor if God didn't have one first? Consider the locomotion of a kangaroo or the face of a warthog or the fact that a giraffe's neck has the same number of vertebrae as yours or mine...

With that in mind, Saturday evening, April 6, St Jude's is hosting God's Good Humor at 7:00 p.m., featuring the comedy stylings of Rabbi Mark Sobel, Shaun Davy, Buzz Ayers and others, with Jean Darnall as Master of Ceremonies. You should come and enjoy some good clean fun. Please call the church office if you have questions.

Lenten Study on Wednesday & Thursday, 7pm

Our Lenten Soup Supper & Study continues this week on both Wednesday and Thursday evening at 7 p.m. (same teaching both nights). In addition to Louie Giglio's Indescribable videos, Father Chuck brought a book by Wayne Jacobsen, In My Father's Vineyard, and suggests we get copies. It's out of print so we can't really consolidate a single order but there are quite a few inexpensive used copies available.

Do come join us for yummy soup and inspiring teaching, either Wednesday or Thursday evening (or both, if you want to experience the teaching twice). 7 pm in the Parish Hall.

Ash Wednesday and Lenten Study

Ash Wednesday is February 13th (just in time for a not-so-chocolatey-good Valentine's Day?!) and we will have a single Ash Wednesday service at 7:30.

The following Wednesday we will start our Lenten Study and Soup Suppers, running for five weeks. THIS year we are having the same program on both Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m., to accommodate parishioners who work Wednesday evening or Thursday evening - you may come either night (or both, but the teaching will be the same). Sign-up sheets are in the narthex or call the church office (818-842-7461) and let us know you're coming. All are welcome.
