Greetings SBCLA Church Family:

Our Sunday Church Adult Bible Classes and our Children Church School are very excited about returning back to in person classes and hybrid too!!! However, before this can take place, we need your HELP!!

We are in NEED of Adult Bible Class Teachers and Children's Church Teachers. Unfortunately, our children have not attended Sunday School here at SBC, since the Pandemic. We need three teachers for the adult classes and seven for the Children's Church. These committed Teachers would only teach one Sunday per month.

"The first African American Heritage Month (AAHM) Celebration in LA began in 1949 when Mayor Fletcher Bowron issued the first proclamation calling for all citizens to celebrate the accomplishments of African Americans. In 1959, the opening ceremony was moved to City Hall. In 1976, the entire month of February was officially declared African American History Month in LA. Every Mayor since then has recognized the month, especially the late Mayor Tom Bradley."
