Los Angeles:
Unity in Diversity

LOS ANGELES—In celebration of Black History Month, the Los Angeles church had a special service, “Celebration of Our Unity in Diversity,” Feb. 7.

Curtis May, district superintendent, introduced the movie, The Rosa Parks Story, during the worship service.

After the service, a catered meal was enjoyed by more than 220 people from 11 WCG congregations around Southern California, ranging from Santa Barbara to San Diego and Riverside.

After dinner, door prizes were given and an entertainment program was presented, beginning with a variety of songs by several individuals.

Members of the Los Angeles and Pasadena NewLife congregations performed a Filipino pole dance, and Vic and Jenny Zager of West Valley and Jackie and Dosia Spurgeon of New Hope Christian Fellowship (Pasadena) enthralled the audience with their performance of a lively Cuban salsa dance.

The entertainment ended with a performance by the Los Angeles youths of a sobering, but fitting skit based on the song, “The Old Apple Tree,” about a wayward son and family reconciliation.

After Mr. May made remarks on the necessity and importance of each of us being reconcilers, many attendees flowed onto the dance floor for about 45 minutes of dancing before the close of the evening. John Campbell.
