The Church Will Also Host a Screening of Palisades Fire Documentary on September 5
By SARAH SHMERLING | Editor-in-Chief
Calvary Palisades is set to resume services at its Highlands campus on Sunday, September 7, at 10 a.m. with Lead Pastor Justin Anderson.
“We back,” read a post shared by the church. “Worship in the gym. Baptisms in the sanctuary. Habit truck in the courtyard. Don’t miss it.”
Following the Palisades fire, “almost the entirety of the campus”—which houses the church as well as Calvary Christian School—was “safe and relatively unharmed.” There was “smoke and water damage,” with the “only area of significant damage was to the sanctuary,” the church wrote at the time.
The school resumed instruction at its Palisades campus following its closure since the fire with its first day of the academic year on Tuesday, September 2.
Ahead of Sunday’s service, Calvary will host a film screening and dessert reception on Friday, September 5, beginning at 7 p.m. for the premiere of “What Endures: The Story of the Palisades Fire,” which was described as “a short documentary-style film about the fires and their impact on our community.”
“Through the voices of our neighbors, teachers and friends, this film tells the story of how our community walked through loss and is clinging to hope together,” read information about the film.
In the trailer, Anderson described preaching his first sermon as the pastor on January 5—two days before the Palisades fire began on January 7.
“After the screening, stay for a dessert reception where we can share memories, reconnect and reflect,” the church wrote. “Admission is free—come and be part of this special night with friends, family and neighbors.”
The screening will take place in the gym. Calvary is located at 701 Palisades Drive.
