Upcoming Smaller Activities
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Brunch on Sunday. And a special thanks to Joseph Becci for the wonderful lasagnas.

20s30s Hamburger Happy Hour and Traditional/Alternative Service Mixer
Wednesday Oct 17 5:30-9
We’re gathering at Rascal on La Brea for their Hamburger Happy Hour. They have $5 drinks and even their famous signature Rascal Burger is only $5 from 5-7 and it is arguably the best burger in LA.
I’ll probably get there around 5:30 and we’ll hang out and welcome people coming in and out til 9pm. But the happy hour only goes to 7 so get your order in before then for the half price specials!
Contact Josh or Laynie for more info.
Gay and Lesbian Center BBQ at the Rectory

Rachel says “Please consider coming to our bbq this Sunday. It should be fun! Our guest, Bill McDermott, is a lot of fun, and has some really great ideas about how we can partner with the LA Gay and Lesbian Center. It’s time we do more than go to brunch together!
Joe and Steve, our gracious chefs for the evening, need to plan how much food/wine to get, etc., so please sign up ASAP. Also, please let me know if you’re interested in helping to set up/tear down.
You can register at http://www.allsaintsbh.org/register/. The cost is $10.
The BBQ is Sunday, October 21 at 4:00pm. All are welcome!!! The event will be held at the church rectory located at 504 N. Camden Drive (one house north of All Saint’s church on Camden Blvd in Beverly Hills). INVITE YOUR FRIENDS!!”
I can only agree. It is wonderful food and the speaker is incredibly engaging.

Cost is $10

Hamburger Happy Hour and Traditional/Alternative Service Mixer
Wednesday Oct 17th 6-9
We’re breaking out from the church brunch cycle and hitting up one of the best new burger places in town: Rascal.
They have a burger happy hour. Their signature burger is only $5 from 5-7 so drop in and grab a burger (or chicken or fish sandwich) and a drink and get to know some people who go to “that other service.”
Gay and Lesbian BBQ at the rectory
Sunday Oct 21 4-7 PM
Joe Becci will be cooking up some of his famous BBQ ribs.
From Rachel: I hope you all will consider coming to the bbq on the 21st. Yes, it’s technically a Gay and Lesbian Ministry event, but you don’t have to be gay to go! We will be talking about doing some volunteer work at the LA Gay and Lesbian Center and we’d love to have you all involved in that. I think we will end up doing work with the homeless youth there – and many of those kids are homeless because their parents kicked them out for being gay (reading between the lines here: for religious reasons). I think it’s important for church groups like ours to let them know they are okay and loved by God. It’s equally important that straight people tell them that – so we’d love your involvement
