The Second Sunday Series at Englewood Christian Church, located at 511 N. 44^th Ave (the corner of Englewood and 44^th Aves.) in Yakima . The program will be at 2:00 on Sunday, May 11. There is no admission charge, but donations are happily accepted. This series is organized and underwritten by Jane and Roger Finch. Directions: take 40^th Ave to Englewood Ave , and turn west on Englewood . Since ECC is at 44^th and Englewood, it would seem that you would go four blocks. However, 41^st , 42^nd, and 43^rd don’t go through to Englewood Ave , so the church is on your left at the next street intersection west of 40^th. (There is a big white LDS church on the right – that’s not it.)
