This week, we shine our Attitude of Gratitude spotlight on an individual who is truly the heart and soul of our Worship team and our Hollywood Blvd Baptist Church family: Kathryn “Kat” Pace. For as long as most of us can remember, Kat has blessed us with her dedication as our pianist, a talent that elevates every service and connects us to God through music. As a lifelong member of our church, her commitment runs deep, a testament to her faith and her love for this community. We are incredibly thankful for her enduring presence, her beautiful musical gift, and the consistent, comforting sound of her piano that has been the backdrop to countless moments in our shared journey of faith.

Beyond the music, Kat embodies what it means to be an amazing Christian woman through and through. Even with a busy professional life and the full-time role of being a Mom to Khloe, she is always willing to lend a helping hand wherever it’s needed—demonstrating a spirit of service that inspires us all. She navigates the demands of life with grace, showing us all how to maintain a resilient faith, even on the darkest days. It’s impossible not to be uplifted by her presence; her smile lights up a room, and her laugh is truly contagious. She is, without a doubt, one of the nicest and most genuinely caring people you will ever meet.

Finally, as we celebrate Kat’s spiritual gifts and her remarkable character, let’s also celebrate her incredible discipline and athletic achievements! Kat is a marathon runner, and as she is training every day, she has a marathon coming up very soon. This pursuit of physical excellence mirrors her commitment in all areas of life. Let’s make sure to show our overwhelming support and cheer her on as she takes on her next race! Thank you, Kat, for your faith, your music, your service, and your shining example. Your church family loves you and is profoundly grateful for you.

SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE HBBC SECURITY TEAM

Security Protocol

For the safety and security of our congregation, both church entrances will be locked 10 minutes after the commencement of all services. During this time, our security personnel will conduct patrols of the property, ensuring all doors are secure and monitoring the safety of children within the Children’s Building. The doors to the Children’s Building will also be secured.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the men who volunteer their time and service to our security team. Your dedication is invaluable. We also wish to send a special thank you to Wally Hammond for heading the security team.

We are currently seeking additional volunteers to join our security team. If you are able to assist in this vital role, please speak with Pastor Jonny.
