During the season of lent, eight AME churches united to present the Community Lenten Caravan (CLC), a series of services held in L.A. and Pasadena leading up to Resurrection Sunday. While the main goal focused on Christ and spiritual renewal for believers, the secondary purpose aimed to raise funds to assist two local nonprofits in their community efforts. The recipients were announced on April 12 at the CLC closing worship at Bethel AME Church in South L.A. The Men’s Cancer Network of Los Angeles and Alkebulan Cultural Center of Pasadena received all of the proceeds from the eight CLC services.
