    Saint Mark's Episcopal Church in Glendale is such a comforting and safe place to practice my Christian faith in LA. My wife and I have been attending for almost 3 years and call this place home. This parish truly cares for its community and the surrounding neighborhood and the world at large. From its generosity in donating to local and global organizations to creating a beautiful and inviting space with open doors all week long so locals to come inside for a time of prayer and reflection and maybe to light a candle. At a Sunday mass you will be transported to Oxford, England with the beautiful pipe organ, talented choir, Anglican chant, stain glass windows, candles, incense, and lovely homilies. After the service I love to grab a cup of coffee and a Yum Yum donut and chat with the broad spectrum of folks that attend Saint Mark's. Kids are playing foosball and ping ping, while 30 and 40 somethings chat with long time elderly members in the parish hall or under the trees in the gorgeous courtyard. If you are looking for a safe church to explore your faith no matter what stage you are in, then I highly recommend Glendale's Saint Mark's Episcopal Church.

    A Beautiful Church Environment For A Family Meetup! [At the time of this writing, Victoria has become St. Mark's Yelp Review Poster Child.] ;) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/saint-marks-episcopal-church-glendale?select=BxNuobK6vgPONMx3f_twuw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w SITREP Sitting in the bustling heart of Glendale sits this divinely sweet church with a "secret garden" of many wonders. THE SETUP As it should happen, I was meeting my baby brother Justin and his wife Vivian (whom I've never met) and their two (2) vivacious, bubbly, incorrigible and fun little twin 2 1/2 year children - my NIECES, Juliet & Victoria - who I was meeting for the first time! I came prepared and brought the Kings of the Swamp Lands: 2 plushie alligators - who I just called "Ally" and "Gater". https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/saint-marks-episcopal-church-glendale?select=6QeMenKKExi0I_V6_dIbtA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w Juliet & Victoria enjoyed taking Ally & Gater all over the church with them, including putting them in he nursing rocking chair like when they were babes being nursed there. THE GARDEN St. Mark's Garden is a wonderful green zone to take the kiddies out to so they can "unburden" their intense energies by playing on the grass, contemplating the beauty of the tall cross, relaxing around the water fountain and enjoy the splashes. THE CHAPEL In the lobby are the offering boxes, at the back of the sanctuary are were we can light the candles, teaching Juliet & Victoria the beauty of worship. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/saint-marks-episcopal-church-glendale?select=Tc-1Ze7W8DldYWgy-AjPEg&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w The Chapel is absolutely gorgeous and it was amazing that we had it all to ourselves. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/saint-marks-episcopal-church-glendale?select=QaKRy1tWbL-JSuGK1fpNEA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE LOWDOWN St. Mark's is a beautiful sanctuary to visit, to meet up with family and friends, and share with your loved ones.

    The loud organ music drowns out the choir. If you don't mind not hearing the choir, then the mass is well performed.

I am especially concern that I never see anyone from the body of Christ (the Church) involved in solving this issue. All I see day after day is apathy and non-involvement and think why doesn't the Church use this opportunity to step out in faith and share their Christianity by showing God's Love and Word in action. Faith without works is Dead! Why isn't the Church doing it job and ministering Jesus to these people and helping them out of their social dilemma. How is God receiving any honor or glory from this? There is much more I could say but I think you get the point. Where are God's People! Thank you for letting me express my thoughts and feelings. May God bless and fill every believer in Christ with passion and compassion in Holy Spirit boldness, power, and action!

Glendale is a very progressive church, and that is the reason why I'm still a dedicated Christian at 20 years old. I feel the church aims to learn and grow rather than keeping to the comfort of exclusion and outdated ideals that are not truly bible-centric. I am always proud to introduce and include my non Christian friends in events at my church such as the annual Christmas concert and our monthly group talks (always good food and good company!). Make your next Sunday enriching, and visit Glendale Church of Christ! Who knows, this church might be your new home in LA. P.s- Brian Shackman, our tried and true preacher, is hilarious

If you love people and have a servant's heart, Glendale is the place for you!

    A Profound and Inspiring Sermon by Bishop Parsegh Baghdassarian…read more Bishop Parsegh Baghdassarian delivered a deeply moving, captivating, and thought-provoking sermon today at St. Gregory Armenian Catholic Cathedral. His message was both timeless and profoundly relevant: God dwells within each of us, and by following the example of Jesus Christ, we all possess the potential to live the life God calls us to live. What made his sermon so powerful was its honest recognition of the human condition. We leave the church inspired, our hearts renewed by the words of our spiritual leaders, only to find ourselves back in the complexities of everyday life, facing temptations, disappointments, difficult choices, and moments of weakness. The challenge is not simply to recognize the righteous path, but to remain on it when life tests our character. As Bishop Parsegh reminded us, we must recognize the temptations that draw us away from the Lord and summon the strength to resist them, following in the footsteps of our Savior. His message resonated with me because I believe we all recognize ourselves in his words. We know what is right, yet sometimes fail to do it. We make choices we later regret, wondering why, at the very moment when we needed conviction and clarity, we allowed ourselves to stray. The distance between knowing what is right and actually doing what is right is one of the great struggles of being human. As someone with an innate desire to repair what is broken and find ways to make things work better, I found myself thinking about his message in an unexpected way. Modern automobiles have become remarkably sophisticated in helping us avoid mistakes. They have automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, navigation systems, and technologies designed to intervene before a moment of inattention becomes a tragedy. With all the extraordinary advances in science, technology, and artificial intelligence, I wondered: Could we ever develop an equivalent of these safeguards for the human spirit? Some kind of inner warning signal that awakens our conscience precisely when we are about to take a wrong turn, jolts us into awareness, and helps us recognize the consequences before we act? Of course, the human heart is far more complex than a machine, and no technology can replace faith, conscience, compassion, or personal responsibility. Yet the analogy reveals something important. We already possess the spiritual guidance we need. Perhaps what we lack at critical moments is the awareness to recognize it and the discipline to act upon it. This is where Bishop Parsegh's message becomes more than a sermon. It becomes a vision of what humanity could be. Imagine a world in which each of us made a conscious effort to recognize the presence of God within ourselves and within others. Imagine pausing before speaking in anger, choosing compassion over indifference, honesty over convenience, forgiveness over resentment, and generosity over selfishness. Imagine allowing the teachings of Christ to guide not only our prayers on Sunday, but also our decisions, relationships, businesses, families, and interactions with strangers throughout the week. The cumulative effect would be extraordinary. Our homes would become more loving, our communities more caring, our differences less divisive, and our world a place where human dignity and the well-being of all living things are treated as sacred responsibilities. The planet we inhabit has the potential to be an incomparably beautiful and fulfilling home, not merely because of what nature has given us, but because of what we, as human beings, could make of it through the way we choose to live. Bishop Parsegh did not simply remind us of our shortcomings. He invited us to recognize our potential. His sermon left me reflecting on the possibility that the better world we long for begins with the choices each of us makes when no one is watching, when temptation presents itself, and when we must decide which direction to take. A truly exceptional sermon does more than inspire us in the moment. It plants a thought that follows us beyond the church doors, challenges us to examine ourselves, and gives us a reason to become better human beings. Bishop Parsegh accomplished precisely that. His words were moving, his message was sobering, and his vision was filled with hope. I am deeply grateful for a sermon that reminded me that perhaps the greatest improvement we can make to our world is not another technological breakthrough, but a spiritual awakening that helps each of us live more consistently with the goodness already within us. Five stars for Bishop Parsegh Baghdassarian for delivering a message that inspires the heart, engages the mind, awakens the conscience, and reminds us of the extraordinary life we could create if we truly learned to walk in the footsteps of Christ.
