Joy to the World! Holiday Brass and Percussion Concert

Justin Rudd's Community Action Team will host a free holiday concert featuring 25 musicians from the Southern California Brass Consortium. Registration is required to attend, and cash, check, or online donations will be accepted to support the Community Action Team's events and activities. Attendees can also bring peanut butter, breakfast cereal, boxes of macaroni and cheese, and/or canned fruit that will be donated to a local food bank, or packs of men's socks that will be donated to homeless agencies. For more information and to register, visit JustinRudd.com/concert.

Following the concert, join the Community Action Team in the church's Fellowship Hall for the Long Beach Christmas Cookie Contest and Bake-Off. Dozens of bakers are expected to bring cookies and other baked goods for the contest. Each of the winners' favorite local charity/school/place of worship will receive a $50 donation from the Community Action Team. The general public will be able to sample the cookies at the tasting reception ($5 donation requested). For more information, visit Justin Rudd's website.
