What does kindness look like when it interrupts our plans, comforts a stranger, or asks us to slow down for someone in need? This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Sheri Perenon will share a message titled "Unexpected Kindness," reflecting on Luke 10:33–37 and the story of the Good Samaritan. In this passage, Jesus paints a picture of mercy that crosses social boundaries and challenges us to see one another differently. It’s an invitation to live with present, practical, and willing compassion. Join us as we reflect on how this kind of kindness shapes the way we move through the world and care for others.

We want to connect with you! Email Pastor Chad at chadf@ljpres.org to get plugged in, or you can find our website at ljpres.org/connect. We hope to see lives transformed by a relationship with Jesus, and we strive to be a place where you experience and are able to express that transforming love of Christ.

It builds our faith to help give back a portion of what God has given us. If you would like to help further His work in La Jolla, San Diego and the world you can give online at LJPres.org/Donate.
