Redeemer Lutheran & St. Theodore’s

Betty Hobbs, a resident of Leisure World for the last 40 years, celebrated her 100th birthday on April 21. The previous Sunday, she joined her St. Theodore of Canterbury’s Episcopal family, as well as her son, Howard Hobbs, for a glorious reception in the outdoor chapel of Redeemer Lutheran Church.

She was feted with a beautiful declaration by the Rt. Rev. John Harvey Taylor, the Episcopal Bishop of Los Angeles “giving thanks for her, her life experiences and her dedicated service to the congregation for 40 years as a Bishop’s committee member, Lay Eucharaistic Minister, lay reade and faithful parishioner.” Betty was also a reporter for the Leisure World News, reporting on Arts and Culture events.

••• Come celebrate the Lord’s Day and Mother’s Day at Redeemer Lutheran Church (13564 Saint Andrews Drive). The outdoor service in the chapel courtyard begins at 9:30 a.m., and the service inside the sanctuary begins at 10:30 a.m.

The indoor service will feature a performance of “Jesu, Jesu, Fill Us with Your Love” by Beverly Anderson, Pastor Lynda Elmer and Kay Pushman, with Sharon Heck on organ.
