Hello, I am not sure if this group is still active but I live in LA and am a Christian. I've been looking for some information on any church plants or home churches that are starting in the city proper. I live downtown. I graduated from seminary a year ago and have been looking for ways to serve and get involved.
Hi! I just joined, and I'm not from LA,....BUT I'm planning on moving there when i graduate. Right now I'm a senior at Samford University, its a private christian college in Alabama. Last year, I felt God calling me to minister out in california. But honestly, I don't know what he wants me to do. I just feel that God has a ministry waiting for me. And what's really cool, when I met the guy who is now my boyfriend, he was telling me that he wants to move to L.A. when he graduated as well! He wants to act/write/direct movies. He wants to make sure all his movies have an underlying christian theme.
I hope you guys don't mind that I joined. I would like to get to know some of you, so when I move out there, I'll know some people and be able to find a good church.
So today was the first day at my new job working in Hollywood. Breaking my way into the business...On the road to getting discovered..yes, I am the new receptionist... This was the big moment of the day. 4 years of college, 5 hours of training. And the phone rings. "__name of company____ this is Jenny" I say in my professional phone voice that I've been practicing over the weekend. "Hi Jenny, this is Kevin is Rob in?" "Yes one second please." I frantically press buttons trying to find the owner of the company, Rob. When I couldn't locate him I have to go public and page him dramatically over the PA system for EVERYONE to hear. And by everyone I mean, my idol who edits Northern Exposure, the producers of My Big Fat Fiancee, the hot guy editing the Yoga video, and all the other randoms... I do a little cough...press the buttons so Im over the speaker "Rob, you have a line on call one.." (then I think, oh wait I said that wrong..) then I laugh and say "ohhh crap" mumbled under my breathe.. Two minutes later northern exposure comes up "Call on line one, nice touch-and the laugh..good job"
So my big break into the business..my big first day at a real job...yeah, I didn't do that great..haha. But I did find it rather humorous.
Hope everyone had a great day. Trying to start coverstaion-does anyone else have funny/scary/random first day of work stories?
