We are the Church

After church the congregation celebrated Pastor Kim's Birthday and her 7th Anniversary as pastor of our congregation with cake, flowers, balloons--and even a corsage!

Special thanks to the Anaheim Reader's Theater (ART) that brought the scriptures to life during our Come to the Table Worship Series. We are grateful to the many volunteers and for Chris Coleman leadership as Director. We look forward to their next worship reading.

Choir

Our Chancel Choir is a non-auditioned choir that is supported by the wonderful voices of our choral interns. All are welcome to add their voice as we lead the congregation in giving praise to God. 

Choir Practice, October 5 from 7-8:30 pm

Do you struggle with traditional prayer forms and find that words fall short of what you want to express to God? Christine Smith, Artist and Spiritual Director, will lead a session on Visio Divina--a prayer practice that connects us to God through art.

Donations for this experience (ordinarily this workshop costs $25) will support Sanctuary renovations at Anaheim First Presbyterian Church. Please register by signing up through the church (714-535-2176) or by clicking Here

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 October 17, 2023.

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

If you are able to donate cookies or finger desserts or help with set up or hosting the event, please contact Norma Leichtweis or Pastor Kim.

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. Unless otherwise announced we will go to Baja California Mexican Grill in the Vons shopping center 2 blocks north of the church.

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)

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, Pat Chambers, Mellody Anderson, Norma Leichtweis, 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.
