At a Theater Near You…Church?

LOS ANGELES—Attending church has never been more entertaining than the present time. At first glance of the chapel’s exterior, one may get the impression he or she is about to go inside and witness some great performance—although not a play, but rather a sermon. On Sunday, Oct. 8, more than 1,000 people attended Westside Shepherd of the Hills, a new church to the West Los Angeles community, to not only propel the house of worship to a great new start, but also to be a part of the kick-off celebration at the Wadsworth Theater.
In 1995, Dudley Rutherford became pastor of Shepherd of the Hills, Porter Ranch, when, as the church stated, “God united it with Hillcrest Christian Church.” Over the years, more than 6,500 people have attended services each week. His dynamic speaking ability has made him a highly sought after respected convention speaker, a frequent speaker to several professional sports teams, and a featured chapel speaker for the World Series. Pastor Rutherford also has had the distinction of serving as the vice president of the North American Christian Convention.
In opening this additional campus, Shepherd of the Hills greatly increases their ability to touch hearts and meet the needs of the greater Los Angeles community. Westside Shepherd of the Hills offers an inspiring message by Pastor Rutherford or a stellar guest speaker each week, quality programs for the children—infants through fifth graders, ample parking, and a welcoming atmosphere. Refreshments are served after the services.
“There are so many wonderful people here,” stated Rutherford, senior pastor, in a news release. “We are so excited to be here and are interested in blessing and serving this community in any way we can.”
Westside Shepherd of the Hills Church, located at 11301 Wilshire Blvd., is an independent, non-denominational church meeting at The Wadsworth Theater in Los Angeles on the grounds of the Veteran’s Administration Campus at the corner of San Vicente and Wilshire Boulevards.
Centered on a 27-acre parcel of land, and operated by RICHMARK Entertainment, the 1939-era theater is a historic landmark that was built in the Spanish Colonial/Mission Revival architectural style with a stucco finish and red clay tile roofing. You can also look at a professional roofing service like Ram Roofing to get reliable commercial roofing services, installing gutter, solar panels, and more. A renovation of the building completed in 2002, includes restoration of its original Art Deco interior, a new fly loft, additional power, equipment and more. Beyond accommodating tech events such as a recent mobile app launch for an online crypto casino that introduced biometric security for automated payouts, the Wadsworth has played host to numerous Broadway shows, concerts, movie premieres, screenings, dance, symposia and more, according to Calenderlive.com.

Thank God for our troops! In honor of Veteran’s Day, I would like to recognize and thank the men and women who have served or currently serve in the United States military. We owe our freedom to these brave soldiers who have sacrificed so much to defend this great nation. John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends,” and that’s what I believe our troops do every day—risk their lives for you and for me.
Please take a moment to read the powerful poem above (click to enlarge), and let us and commit to keeping the men and women in the service, as well as our veterans, in our prayers daily. May God’s mighty hand protect and bless them and their families .
Jeff Suppan
This is Jeff Suppan who played high school baseball here in the Valley. He was KEY for the Redbirds winning the World Series. I’m told his brother Mark goes to our church. (Mark, I would like to meet you sometime.) Jeff is a free agent but I hope he decides to stay with Cardinal Nation. I’m also told that Jeff has a restaurant here in L.A. called “Soup’s Kitchen.”
I’ve never been there, but if it’s as good as Jeff can throw… then it’s as good as it gets !!!
I’ve told Kayla from day one, “Be Humble not Hyper.” The reason I tell her this is because she is the most energetic person I know (besides the person I look at in the mirror each day). She loves life and she loves the Lord. Her spirit is contagious and she leads her school, her team, her friends and her peers to a closer walk with Jesus. If you ever get the chance to spend some time with her, you would know what I was talking about.
Ohhhhhhhh yes, you didn’t think I would forget to tell you, did you? She also is the starting point guard for the basketball team. Now, this blog is complete…hehahahehahahahe !
