Halloween Parade

Many thanks to all who came and helped us offer free popcorn and a prayer station to parade goers.

Bagpipes, Quilts, and New Members!

We had a wonderful Reformation Sunday Celebration.

Jason Vega and Matthew Ramirez were welcomed as our most recent new members.

Bagpiper Richard Cook piped us in and out of worship and accompanied the choir.

And we had more kilts and tartans on display than ever. 

This Weekend

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? Sign up in the the Narthex on Sunday or contact our Ministry Intern, Susan Wei who is coordinating this event. susanwei3@yahoo.com

All Church Prayer Gathering

Let's come together on Tuesday, November 14th, at 10am to pray to God for the church, the world, and each other either in person at the church or via Zoom. We will sing a few praise songs and hymns and then break into small prayer groups. There is no formula to this praying time and prayer experience is not necessary. All are welcome!

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, November 26, 2023, after the church service. This month restaurant is to be determined.

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.

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 on December 5, 2023. (Please note new date)

Meeting time changed to 5:45pm to get Happy Hour pricing!

Fellowship and Goodies?

We are always looking for donations of cookies or other treats to give us something to munch on while enjoy a cup of Dale's coffee. If you feel like baking (or shopping) just bring them with you on a Sunday. If we have too many treats that day we will freeze some for the next week. Thank you!

We give thanks for the birth of Rachel Ojorumi Emina who is the daughter of Daniel and Emily Emina. Grandparents are Juliana and Clarence Emina-Coney.

Frani Krum turned 99 on Halloween!
