Sunday Lunch Bunch
Several people have expressed an interest in getting together for lunch after Sunday worship, so let's give it a try!
Our next lunch date will be on Sunday, October 29, 2023, after the church service. This month we will go to Ruby's Diner. We will have flyers available that donate 20% of the bill to the Anaheim Fall Festival.
It will be fun getting to know each other better in a social setting, rather than just saying "Hi" on Sunday morning!!
Bring a friend, spouse, or significant other.

Help Feed the World with Shepherd's Grove Presbyterian, Irvine
November 4 - 9am to 11am
Did you know that 1 in 7 kids in the world suffers from the effects of food insecurity, living in a chronic state of malnutrition? Through the OneMeal program, tens of thousands of impoverished children have a warm, nutritious meal EACH DAY.
This is a family-friendly, meal-packaging extravaganza where volunteers come together in unity to help end world hunger. They have set a goal of preparing 40,000 meals, which will go to feed hungry kids in Peru!
Want to reserve your spot or get more information? Contact our Ministry Intern, Susan Wei who is coordinating this event. susanwei3@yahoo.com

Gathering of Spirits is an informal time of open conversation
where human spirits can connect with one another and God’s Spirit
while sipping some spirits (or soft drinks).
Windsor Browns is a Beer, Wine, and Sandwich Pub located at the corner of Center St Promenade and Clementine.
It is an easy 1 block walk from the church.
Our next meeting will be in November 28, 2023.
Meeting time changed to 5:45pm to get Happy Hour pricing!

Fellowship and Goodies?
It's so good to see more people staying after church for the coffee,
goodies and fellowship!
One small problem! To keep the goodies coming, we are going to need
some more volunteers to bring them.
Right now, one person is doing most of it, so be a good sport and bring
some goodies, so we can continue this time of fellowship!
We can always freeze some, if we should happen to get an overabundance,
which I am hoping for!!!!!!
We can't say thank-you enough to Dale and his coffee cart, and Tracy,
who is his right hand gal. Without them, there would be no fellowship!!!
