God’s Potluck of Grace

“…when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I’ll be there.” — Matthew 18:20 (MSG)

This September we will hear the call to dine with Jesus — an invitation that means much more than a simple eating experience. It never was with Jesus. The table was the place where he fed people, and also challenged them to acts of hospitality that reflect God’s way. When we say “yes” to the place at Christ’s table, we accept a way of life that embraces God’s definition of love, peace, grace, and joy. Let us celebrate the depth of communion to which we are called.

Anyone who wishes to be part of THIS SUNDAY'S reading, please arrive NO LATER THAN 10:15 so that Chris Coleman can assign parts and we can do a run through of this Sunday's scripture reading. 

If you plan to be a part of NEXT SUNDAY'S reading, please plan to stay after worship to check in with Chris and receive a copy of the full scripture to review. 

If you have questions about what the readings will entail, please contact Chris at anaheimreaderstheater@gmail.com.

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, September 24, 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)

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 September 26, 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!!!

Please pray for those in treatment for cancer: John Harb (Kendall's father), Matthew Williams (Jack and Geri Baird's grandson), Catherine Morris, Bill Anderson (Bruce Anderson's Brother)

Please pray for those on hospice: Patricia Carl



Please continue to pray for the health of: Dave Lopez (Alan's brother), Harvey Taylor, Dave Lopez, Pat Chambers, Mellody Anderson, Norma Leichtweis, Daline Goode & Family (Mellody Anderson's cousin), Esther Fieldhouse, Luca ( son of Christina Cuddy's friend),Carol Talbot, Wanda Reynolds.

If you have a prayer request that you would like to add to our prayer list, 

please contact the church office: offices@anaheimfirstpres.org or 714.535.2176.
