LOS ANGELES (AP) - Some of the more than 100 churches on or near
Sunday's 26-mile Los Angeles Marathon route are telling their flocks to skip worship services that day.
The Rev. Mary Haddad told her congregation at All Saints' Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills: "Remember the Sabbath and keep it aerobic." There will be no morning services because of crowds, street closures and lack of parking, but an evening service will be
held.
Marathon organizers say 14 churches sit along the new Dodger Stadium to the sea route, and 88 others are within a five-block radius.
Brentwood Presbyterian Church is encouraging members to spend part of its "marathon of service" weekend preparing food for homeless people, gleaning fruit in Oxnard or planting trees.
