California Churches Hold In-Person, Virtual Services Sunday

Multiple churches across various locations are holding in-person and livestreamed worship services this Sunday, featuring sermons on topics such as redemption and blessings, with Sunday school and Bible study sessions available for children and families. Hymns including Joseph Parry’s Aberystwyth and traditional psalms like 'The Lord's My Shepherd' continue to be a central part of worship, reinforcing themes of God's guidance and eternal presence. Pastoral reflections emphasize God's intimate knowledge of human suffering and love, highlighting Jesus' incarnation and sacrifice as profound acts of redemption and support for believers. At BYU and affiliated Church schools, weekly devotionals aim to address challenges faced by young people, such as loneliness and loss of purpose, by fostering community and anchoring meaning in Jesus Christ through talks by Church leaders and scholars. These religious activities and messages collectively seek to nurture faith, community connection, and spiritual growth among congregants and students.
