There was no shortage of fun this weekend thanks to the help of several special groups!

On Thursday night, we kicked off the 1st of 6 “Nights of Star Wars” on the roof. URM families enjoyed popcorn, brownies and cookies thanks to Calvary Church Pacific Palisades.  People brought blankets and chairs to camp out on the roof while enjoying the show! Kids and adults alike enjoyed this great time to just hang out with one another and forget about life’s other concerns for the night. Everyone is looking forward to night # 2 this Thursday!

Then, on Saturday,our guest women enjoyed a day of pampering! The ladies enjoyed shoulder massages, facials, pedicures, gifts and snacks. It felt like a local salon for a few hours including lots of talking and laughter! This event was a much needed diversion from typical life on Skid Row. We are so grateful to Sister Self for taking the time to come treat our ladies!

Later that night, Mt. Sinai praise dancers (ages 3-11) ministered to our guests. An amazing 13 children and 10 adults came to Christ! Our wonderful youth minister Chris Mason shared hope and encouragement and Michael on the 4th floor ministered in song as only he can!  Not only were we thrilled to have the praise dancers share their gifts with us, but we are celebrating precious souls coming to the Lord Jesus!
