Celebrating the Gospel through Bluegrass at La Canada Presbyterian Church

A toe-tappin’ time of inspirational worship is promised by the La Canada Presbyterian Church as it presents Bluegrass Gospel Sunday, featuring Boggs, Brock & Pratt and their seven-piece band, on Sunday, Sept. 20, at 7:55, 9:25 and 11:00 a.m. services.

LCPC returns to its regular worship schedule with the rollicking, yet reverent, music. Andrew Pratt, who leads LCPC’s contemporary worship music, is keenly familiar with bluegrass, having grown up in eastern Oklahoma and having sung country music from a young age. Judy Brock, who directs the church’s children’s and youth choirs, and her twin sister, Janet Boggs, gained national fame as entertainers of children and have recorded nine albums liberally flavored with bluegrass and country styles.

The spiritually inspiring songs and joyful harmonies will be backed by guitar (Pratt and Brock), mandolin (Boggs), banjo, fiddle, dobro, harmonica and other instruments.

On this Sunday, LCPC’s interim pastor, the Rev. Dr. Gareth Icenogle, will continue his fall preaching series, “Leaving the Old Life with a New Leader,” derived from Exodus 1.

La Canada Presbyterian Church, located at 626 Foothill Blvd., offers a wide range of activities throughout each week for families and people of all generations, and prides itself on making anyone who steps onto campus feel welcome. The customary worship schedule offers a traditional service at 7:55, with pipe organ, Chancel Choir and familiar hymns; a blend of traditional and contemporary worship at 9:25; and a high-energy contemporary service at 11, led by the Praise Band in the Worship Arts Center.
