Prayer Requests and Praise Reports


We Are the Church!

Thank you to Tracy and Dale Ramont, Alan and Glory Lopez, Harvey and Janet Taylor, Rick Connor, and Norma Leichtweis who helped up pass out a record number of bags of popcorn before the Anaheim Halloween Parade. We are estimating that we served at least 175 people in 2 hours!

 

We also offered a prayer station in honor of Dia de Los Muertos (Oct 31) and All Saints Day (Nov 1). People wrote the names of people, living or dead, who made a difference in their life or our world and added them to our chain of remembrance. The chain continued to grow during worship on Sunday. We will continue to add to it each Sunday between now and Thanksgiving Sunday on November 20. If you can't be present in worship but want to remember someone, please let the office or Pastor Kim know and we will add their name to the chain for you.  

Reformation Sunday saw Stephen Robertson, Clif Buchanan and his son, Charles, and John Saylor donning their kilts in honor of the Scottish roots of the Presbyterian Church. Stephen also surprised us all with homemade shortbread (made from his mother's recipe) and scones for Coffee Fellowship. Thank you Stephen!

Happy 98th Birthday, Frani Krum. While Frani is unable to get out to attend church every week, she faithfully listens to the service on Zoom and is reading through "Sailboat Church" along with all of us!

Cal State Fullerton's Opera Scenes "A Case of Mistaken Identity" Features our Choir Interns

 

Please consider supporting our choir interns as they perform this Thursday through Sunday, November 3-6 at Recital Hall, 800 N. State College Blvd, Fullerton. Thursday-Saturday performances begins at 8 pm, Sunday's performance begins at 3 pm. Tickets are $5.

 

The website describes the show as "Disguises, misheard instructions, magic spells, and much more take center stage in this production featuring scenes from several of our most-beloved operas and operettas, as well as a few hidden gems and a new work to book. The students of the opera theatre will have you laughing and falling in love as identities are hidden and some revealed when confusion, deception, and gossip reign supreme in 'A Case of Mistaken Identity.'"

For more information or to purchase tickets online, please click here

The Church Office will be closed next week, November 7-10, 2022 as Jessica will be on vacation. If you are planning to stop by, please call ahead to make sure Pastor Kim is in. Thank you!

We give thanks for the life of Jackie Myhre who we just learned has joined the Church Triumphant at age 95.

Please keep her family and friends in your prayers in this time of grief.


Please pray for those in treatment for cancer: Catherine Morris, Rosemary Ford, Bill Anderson (Bruce Anderson's Brother).


Please pray for those on hospice: Patricia Carl, Dave Maresh (Glory's brother).


Please continue to pray for the health of: Mary Bouas, Norma Leichtweis, Dave Maresh, Marilyn Worden, Clif Buchanan, William Thode (Ruth Dorman's brother in law), Jane Canfield (Glory's sister).


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.
