Those on the list were told to wait for a motel voucher. Those not on the list were told they could go to a homeless shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County homeless czar Susan Price said the county was on track to locate a sufficient number of motel rooms for residents of the riverbed encampment, including a deal to lease 100 rooms at one motel. County lawyers had filed a court brief over the weekend reporting difficulties finding motels willing to house the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Price, 144 people have been moved into motels since Feb. 14, and a few have already been evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"3M95AHaLg0vfRpGhjMmA77pWwaYwZKeP\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price acknowledged that some motel owners had backed out of offers to accept riverbed homeless people after hearing reports of bad conduct by some who have accepted motel vouchers. But she vowed to find housing to fulfill the judge’s order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Incrementally, we’ll make anything happen and we are doing that each and every day,” Price said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said cars had been dropping homeless people off at the riverbed in recent days, complicating the county’s effort to comply with a judge’s order to provide shelter for those who had been camped long term along the riverbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Carol Sobel, one of the lawyers representing homeless people camped along the riverbed, said some long-term campers had left the riverbed only in recent weeks and should be eligible for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One woman, Brandy Phelps, said she came to the riverbed Monday with her two sons, ages 14 and 16, in hopes of getting a 30-day motel voucher. She said she has been homeless since November and has been bouncing around between motels and shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was hoping for a little breather to be able to get something going,” she said. “Be able to plant my stuff and my kids somewhere and not have to worry for a few days, and be able to get hustling and working.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A county worker told Phelps she would try to find an alternative for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serena Welch, who has lived along the riverbed for more than four years, waited in line Tuesday morning carrying a pink backpack and trying to keep track of her small dog. She carried a county-issued ID card that she got Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"2l4w3vfcR8Ns0uClllIeImOyp4pCrG4a\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some homeless people have been unable to move into motels because they lacked valid identification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Welch said she was tired of standing in lines but was hopeful that a motel stay would help her get back on her feet. She said her adult son, who had also been living at the river, had gotten a motel voucher in recent days and was now looking for an apartment for both of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just need to get myself into a motel until then so I can get myself together,” Welch said. \"This had to happen for me to start doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the front of the line, a county worker found Welch’s name on the list and directed her to wait for transportation to a motel.

County lawyers had filed a court brief over the weekend reporting difficulties finding motels willing to house the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Price, 144 people have been moved into motels since Feb. 14, and a few have already been evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price acknowledged that some motel owners had backed out of offers to accept riverbed homeless people after hearing reports of bad conduct by some who have accepted motel vouchers.

She said she has been homeless since November and has been bouncing around between motels and shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was hoping for a little breather to be able to get something going,” she said. “Be able to plant my stuff and my kids somewhere and not have to worry for a few days, and be able to get hustling and working.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A county worker told Phelps she would try to find an alternative for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serena Welch, who has lived along the riverbed for more than four years, waited in line Tuesday morning carrying a pink backpack and trying to keep track of her small dog.

Founded in 1955, this church became famous for its weekly television show, \u003ca href=\"http://hourofpower.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“The Hour of Power”\u003c/a> and glitzy holiday productions at Christmas and Easter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Televising the morning service from the Crystal Cathedral both extended the reach of the church and allowed people to enjoy Sunday worship service from the comfort of their living rooms. The holiday productions, complete with performances from live animals and actors, were aimed at bringing people into the church to see, hear and experience biblical stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/e06WkQ3V7Mg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the Christmas story from the New Testament Gospels was reenacted in the main sanctuary of the church with Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the stable, along with the wise men, angels, and even camels and donkeys. The Easter story was similarly reenacted with a depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus, Roman soldiers, weeping followers and an empty tomb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, perhaps more important than those costume dramas, was founding \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/03/us/rev-robert-h-schuller-hour-of-power-evangelist-dies-at-88.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pastor Robert Schuller’s\u003c/a> idea to use a \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/06/reel-faith-how-the-drive-in-movie-theater-helped-create-the-megachurch/258248/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">local drive-in movie theater\u003c/a> for Sunday services. Motivated at least in part by the lack of availability of other venues, Schuller turned the necessity of meeting in a drive-in theater into a cultural adaptation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the post-World War II jobs and housing boom, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520073951\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schuller capitalized\u003c/a> on a Southern Californian’s dependence on and familiarity with the automobile. People could come to church and never have to leave their car. Thus, partly out of necessity, partly out of vision, Schuller combined the car culture of Southern California and the more casual vibe of the region, by linking church with what people did in their everyday lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11641361\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11641361\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-1020x555.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-1020x555.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-160x87.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-800x435.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-960x522.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-240x131.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-375x204.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-520x283.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Garden Grove community drive-in church. \u003ccite>(\u003ca href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3A6207-GardenGroveCommunityDriveInChurch.jpg\">Robert J.

There was no need to “dress up.” Once there, they heard a traditional, “Bible-based” sermon from Chuck Smith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what really differentiated Calvary Chapel was its inclusion of music that sounded just like the popular rock and folk music of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/6yZWnjuMH9g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calvary Chapel became a hub of activity for young people in the \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/jesus-people-a-movement-born-from-the-summer-of-love-82421\">“Jesus Movement,”\u003c/a> that combined a conservative evangelical Christianity with the look of the countercultural hippie style. Calvary Chapel sponsored concerts of “Jesus music” which was essentially folk and rock music with Christian lyrics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/embed/cQHDDtlTbiM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These concerts \u003ca href=\"https://global.oup.com/academic/product/gods-forever-family-9780195326451?q=God%27s%20Forever%20Family&lang=en&cc=us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attracted scores of young people\u003c/a>. Rather than Sunday services being characterized by organ and choir music, guitars and folksy music with Christian lyrics became the norm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calvary Chapel institutionalized and popularized the music through the creation of the \u003ca href=\"https://maranathamusic.com/pages/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maranatha Music\u003c/a>, a record label that soon gained immense popularity. Along with other Christian music labels that followed, this music reached a much larger population of evangelical Christians than any concert or church worship service could.

Founded in 1955, this church became famous for its weekly television show, \u003ca href=\"http://hourofpower.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“The Hour of Power”\u003c/a> and glitzy holiday productions at Christmas and Easter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Televising the morning service from the Crystal Cathedral both extended the reach of the church and allowed people to enjoy Sunday worship service from the comfort of their living rooms. The holiday productions, complete with performances from live animals and actors, were aimed at bringing people into the church to see, hear and experience biblical stories.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/e06WkQ3V7Mg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/e06WkQ3V7Mg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>For example, the Christmas story from the New Testament Gospels was reenacted in the main sanctuary of the church with Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the stable, along with the wise men, angels, and even camels and donkeys.

People could come to church and never have to leave their car. Thus, partly out of necessity, partly out of vision, Schuller combined the car culture of Southern California and the more casual vibe of the region, by linking church with what people did in their everyday lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11641361\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-11641361\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-1020x555.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-1020x555.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-160x87.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-800x435.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-960x522.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-240x131.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-375x204.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu-520x283.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/cali-drivein-file-20171213-27568-bbipnu.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Garden Grove community drive-in church. \u003ccite>(\u003ca href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3A6207-GardenGroveCommunityDriveInChurch.jpg\">Robert J.
