Worship Information and Bulletin
Welcome Sandra Kim.
An ordained PCUSA minister and Clinical Social Worker Sandra Sonhyang Kim is a person who constantly asks, ‘when will my reflection show who I am inside?’ Sandra has traveled far and wide since leaving her home country of South Korea. She has studied Christian Education, Theology, and Social Work which all humbled her more and served as an educator and pastor in various ministry contexts in the States as well as in Canada. She currently serves low-income seniors and provides counseling services to clients, many of whom are economically disadvantaged. She is married to a Presbyterian minister Stanley Kim (who preached here last month) and has a delightful daughter who is a DPK (double pastor’s kid—just like Pastor Kim’s daughter, Chaney!).
This Sunday Interim State Clerk, Sandra Kim, will preach a sermon,
Befriending Problems from 2 Kings 4:1-7; 2 Corinthians 1:3-11.

A memorial service for Wini Buchanan will be held in the Sanctuary on the afternoon of August 12, 2023 at 1pm.
We can use everyone's help to honor Wini's life. We will need volunteers to bring cookies or other finger desserts and others who are willing to help with set up, hospitality, and clean up. If you can lend a hand, please email the church office (offices@anaheimfirstpres.org) or Pastor Kim (pastorkim@anaheimfirstpres.org).

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 August 22, 2023.
Meeting time changed to 5:45pm to get Happy Hour pricing!

LUNCH ANYONE?
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, August 27, 2023, after the church service. Restaurant 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( if you are lucky enough to have one)

If you are interested in more information, speak with Pastor Kim. | |

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!!!
