We Are The Church


Good Bye Shed, Thank You ACT



For 19 years, Anaheim Community Theater blessed our congregation and community with quality dramatic, comedic, and dinner theaters productions. We are reminded of their lasting legacy every time we sit in one of the blue padded chairs (a donation from ACT). This week, in preparation for Vibrant Minds leasing the Calvin Building until the sale is complete, the shed that they used to store props and furnishings found a new home.

 

Yorba Linda Presbyterian Church had an urgent storage issue that needed a creative solution and we had a shed we could no longer use. By offering it to YLPC they paid to have it removed and we were able to support a sister congregation. Definitely a win-win solution and an answer to the prayers of both our congregations. 


Preparing to Launch 

The team who volunteered to research what will be needed to share our sanctuary with the community as an arts and events venue is hard at work. We are grateful for their dedication and commitment to making this BHAG (Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal) a reality.

Say it With Flowers

A memorial service for Mary Bouas we held on Saturday. The family left the beautiful arrangement of roses (in USC colors, of course). After the service, the flowers were shared among those in worship. Some went to our homes and some were shared with others as a sign of our love and prayers.

Prayer Requests and Praise Reports

“God is our refuge and strength … though the mountains shake.”

- Psalm 46:1-3



GIVE. ACT. PRAY.


The scale of the disaster facing Syria and Turkey after the Feb. 6 earthquake is becoming clearer. The 7.8-magnitude quake and its aftershocks have left more than 11,000 people dead and thousands more injured; these numbers will rise as search and rescue continues. Buildings have been reduced to rubble, and roads and bridges have been severely damaged, resulting in dangerous conditions for first responders. In some places, such as Aleppo, this destruction is compounding the damage of the now 11-year war in Syria.


Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is providing emergency relief and short-term recovery in the impacted areas through long-standing partners in Syria, in addition to ACT Alliance members in Syria and Turkey, all of whom are already on the ground. (READ FULL ARTICLE)

Please pray for Glory Lopez and her family following the death of her brother, Dave Maresh, on Wednesday, February 8. We give thanks for his life and pray that God's strength will carry Glory and all of Dave's family through this time of sorrow.


Please pray for those in treatment for cancer: Cathy Laney (friend of Tracy Ramont), Ryan Gibson (friend of Tracy Ramont), Catherine Morris, Bill Anderson (Bruce Anderson's Brother), Fred Yuric (Scott Lile's stepfather).


Please pray for those on hospice: Patricia Carl, O.D. Taylor (Harvey's brother)


Please continue to pray for the health of: Norma Leichtweis, Clif Buchanan, Jane Canfield (Glory's sister), Chris Coleman.
