About Us
We are Sierra Madre's village church, where all are welcome - from "town" and beyond. We are a place to meet God and your neighbors, serving Christ today for those who will know and serve Christ tomorrow. |
Get Involved
We offer praise and thanksgiving to God through a variety of ministries, including worship, fellowship, formation, pastoral care, outreach, and by being present in the larger church and our community. |
Give
Making an offering of your resources - time, talent, and treasure - is an integral part of what it means to be a Christian. There are many ways you can support our church. |

UPCOMING SERVICES
Sunday, June 7, 2026 8:00am (Rite I) Service and 10:15am (Rite II) Service“Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall honor me." (Psalm 50:15) Click HERE to view on Facebook LIVE. (A Facebook account is not required to view the link.) SEE QUICK LINKS at right for the service bulletins and lessons. A word of caution – there are some folks who are having respiratory issues of a variety of kinds. If you are having any symptoms, please stay home, and we will bring Communion to you. This would be a kindness to the vulnerable in our congregation. Based upon guidelines from the LA County Health Department and State authorities, we encourage those with heightened vulnerabilities to wear masks. Ascension offers Communion at the rail and provides the option of small glasses to be filled from the common cruet. Please note that the practice of intinction (where a parishioner dips the bread in the wine) is not permitted under the diocesan guidelines. A PRAYER FOR PEACE IN THE HOLY LAND: Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen. The Book of Common Prayer (page 815) A Prayer for Ukraine: God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen (Archbishops Justin Welby & Stephen Cottrell) |
