Alert,FILL UP NOW,SUMMER BLEND PRICE LEAP COMING: "Gas PricesTo Spike Another 30 Cents After 50-Cent Wholesale Jump" « CBS Los Angeles
ARCO @ ALONDRA & WOODRUFF ALWAYS HAS LOWEST PRICE NOT JUST IN BELLFLOWER BUT SOUTHERN CAL.

TOUGH TIMES 4 BETHEL RCA of BELLFLOWER: "Encounter Church Replant" | Pastor Mike Larsen
I REMEMBER LINDY TELLING ME SHE ATTENDED THIS CHURCH. I went there once,many years ago & sensed it was made up of long-time locals who knew exactly who was a "regular" & who was a "newbie". This is a problem for new people who feel like the "odd man out" even if they try to make u feel at home. Nobody likes to feel as if they are the new "low man on the totem pole" if they join a church. You just like to assimilate gradually without discussion of "where ya from?" etc
