Best-selling Christian author and speaker Philip Yancey, multiple Gold Medallion Award winner and editor-at-large for Christianity Today, will be at Lake Avenue Church, Pasadena, on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at 7.30 pm to speak at a special community memorial service titled \u201cSongs of Remembrance: A Service of Hope and Renewal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event marks the first anniversary of the devastating Los Angeles fires that swept through the Eaton Canyon and Pacific Palisades regions, leaving deep scars on local neighborhoods and congregations. The 70-minute service will be led by Lake Avenue Church\u2019s Chamber Orchestra and members of the Sanctuary Choir, featuring sacred hymns, choral anthems, and classical works that invite reflection, comfort, and renewed hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be a meaningful opportunity to come together and find something redemptive in the midst of tragedy,\u201d said Yancey. \u201cIronically, it\u2019s often tragedy that brings people together.\u201d Recognized as \u201cBilly Graham\u2019s favorite author,\u201d Yancey has written numerous books addressing faith and suffering, including\u00a0Where Is God When It Hurts?\u00a0and\u00a0Disappointment with God. He has previously spoken at national memorial events following tragedies such as Columbine and Sandy Hook, offering messages of grace and healing in times of pain.<\/p>\n
