There are some ' notions of the church if it it to take its rightful place in this community. I have the good fortune of being pastor of the Narbonne Avenue Baptist Church in Lomita. We cooperate with 29,000 other churches to make up the Southern Baptist Convention. One essential is fulfilled in having a church sanc tuary that fronts on Woodward to make it an ideally quiet place to worship.
