A boulevard for Alhambra
Alhambra is a San Gabriel Valley city, close to Los Angeles and home to families from many backgrounds. The gospel John the Baptist announced is for all of them. He came as “a man sent from God” to bear witness to the Light, “that all men through him might believe” (John 1:6–7). We are asking Alhambra’s mayor and city officials to consider naming a street John the Baptist Boulevard, so that this witness has a public place on the city’s own map.
The request is modest. Let the name stand without ornament. John himself was a plain preacher. He prepared the way, baptized those who confessed their sins, and then pointed to Jesus: “This is the Son of God” (John 1:34). A well-used route through Alhambra would be enough. The honor would not compete with the city’s other stories. It would add a clear sign that the call to turn to Jesus still belongs in public life, in a valley where so many languages and histories already meet.
If you live in Alhambra and want to help, write your mayor, talk with your church, and gather signatures. We are ready to help with a sample letter or a petition. Call or text John Arwood at (904) 305-7534, or email [email protected].
