MORE COMEDY: Two religious institutions will stage comedy nights for fund-raising events next month.

Christian stand-up comics Robert G. Lee of West Hills and Paul Aldrich of Arleta will perform June 10 at Shepherd of the Hills Church in Porter Ranch to benefit the Oklahoma City Children’s Fund. The fund to aid children hurt in the April 19 bomb attack is administered by the First Baptist Church of Oklahoma City.

Lee and Aldrich, who appeared together in a comedy night at Bel Air Presbyterian Church in December, have performed widely in evangelical Christian settings.

For admission, donations of $10 are suggested for adults and $8 for children 13 and under. Tickets may be purchased at Valley Book and Bible stores or at the host church, 19700 Rinaldi St., Porter Ranch, in advance or on the night of the show, which begins at 8 p.m. More information is available at (818) 831-9333.

On June 5 at the L.A. Cabaret Comedy Club in Encino, Valley Outreach Synagogue will hold a fund-raiser dinner and night of comedy hosted by Cantor Kenny Ellis. The cost is $20, including dinner. For more information, call (818) 348-4867.

MARCHES FOR JESUS: Joining evangelical and charismatic Christians in about 1,000 other cities around the world, groups in Van Nuys and Lancaster will hold a March for Jesus at 10 a.m. next Saturday.

No march will be held this year in Santa Clarita, where an estimated 4,000 people participated last year, said organizer Sue Marshall. Instead, a rally will be held at 10 a.m. today at Canyon High School in Canyon Country. “We will probably stage a march again in 1996,” Marshall said.

U.S. leaders of the international movement, based in Austin, Tex., emphasize that the coordinated music-and-prayer events are not political protests but attempts to express the nondenominational unity of Christian believers.

The marches usually wind up at a park site for religious rallies. For example, the Antelope Valley March for Jesus will start at Lancaster City Hall and proceed about a mile to Jane Reynolds Park. The Van Nuys march will start and end at Woodley Park.

TEMPLE BOOTHS: It’s food, games and entertainment, but if someone were synagogue shopping, the Valley Jewish Festival, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Pierce College, presents opportunities to pick up a lot of information.

Congregations that have taken booths for the festival range from Shaarey Zedek Congregation and Young Israel of Northridge on the Orthodox side to Kol Tikvah and Stephen S. Wise Temple on the Reform Judaism side.

AMERICAN BAPTISTS: The 89th annual meeting of American Baptist churches in Los Angeles will be held June 2-3 at the Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City with music, exhibits and preaching. A youth and young adult celebration will be held simultaneously on June 3 at Los Angeles Baptist High School.

For more information, call the Los Angeles Baptist City Mission Society at (213) 482-8671.

JEWS IN THE VALLEY: A lecture and slide show on the history of Jews in the San Fernando Valley will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the West Valley Jewish Community Center, 6459 Independence Ave., Woodland Hills. The free show is sponsored by the center’s Rosenkrantz Library. For more information, call (818) 587-3300.
