Arcadia Congregational Church is a member of the United Church of Christ, which is devoted to the concept that persons of widely differing theological understandings can join together to form a Christian community of faith. As individual members, we are free to believe and act in accordance with our awareness of God's will for our lives. But we are also called to live in a loving and accepting relationship with one another. We are a church with an open table, inviting all who want to follow Jesus' message of love, forgiveness, and service to join with us in worship. Our church is here to nurture your spiritual quest.

ADULT BIBLE STUDY RETURNS
Our Adult Bible Study will be returning on Wednesday, September 8 at 7 p.m. and on Friday, September 10 at 3:30 p.m. for a 14-week series on the Book of Revelation. This most controversial book in our Bible will be explored by a book entitled “Breaking the Code,” a DVD series, and of course, readings from Revelation. We will learn about the difficult language in this text, the history of the cities to which the author was writing, and the general conditions under which Christians were living.
RALLY DAY
On Sunday, September 12, we will be recognizing the end of summer vacations and the beginning of the new school year with our Rally Day celebration. After worship service we will be having a potluck and barbecue in the tented area and be treated to the fabulous talents of magician and illusionist, Geebo the Clown. He makes many of the performers at the Magic Castle look like a bunch of amateurs.
CALLING ALL ADVENTURERS
Saturday, September 18 will be the date of our next Adventurers’ field trip. We will be going to the Natural History Museum in Exposition Park in Los Angeles. Come and see the towering death match between T-rex and triceratops, the palm-sized tarantula in the recently reopened Discovery Center, and the Director’s Hall where a tiny portion of the museum’s 33-million-piece collection is displayed. We will meet at our church parking lot at 12 noon. Ticket prices are $9 for adults, $6.50 for students and seniors, $2 for those 5-12, and young ones under the age of 5 are free.
