Dear Beloved in Christ,
Our prayers this week are with the tens of thousands of our neighbors who are being impacted by the devastating fires. We grieve with all who have lost loved ones, been injured, lost their beloved pets, homes, businesses, and historic buildings, and our hearts are with the more than 180,000 people who are currently displaced and are waiting and wondering about their future.
This is a time for community. I pray that you will contact us if you or your loved ones need direct assistance in any way.
If you are able, I encourage you to give generously to those affected by the fires through our Diocese's One Body One Spirit fund. Our offering at Christ Church on Sunday will go to this fund.
It is appropriate that this Sunday, January 12, we will celebrate a baptism: the sacrament by which we join Christ in his death and resurrection and are born into a new life in the Holy Spirit. Please join us in person at Christ Church or, if you have electricity, join us on Facebook and download the Order of Service here.
In Christ,
Mother Julie Beals

Christ Church, Redondo Beach
When the church was dedicated on Jan. 4, 1893, the Redondo Compass reported: “The style of architecture is Gothic. Christ Church is a very pretty little building, one of which the Episcopalians may well be proud. The inside is finished in Oregon pine and redwood.”
St. Andrew’s, Torrance
St. Andrew’s was established in 1918 and is located in the heart of Historic Torrance. The church offers many community programs, classrooms, and opportunities for service.
