St. Wilfrid's Episcopal Preschool Receives 2019 Best of Huntington Beach Award
Huntington Beach Award Program Honors the Achievement
HUNTINGTON BEACH November 13, 2019 -- St. Wilfrid's Episcopal Preschool has been selected for the 2019 Best of Huntington Beach Award in the Preschool category by the Huntington Beach Award Program.
Each year, the Huntington Beach Award Program identifies companies that we believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and our community. These exceptional companies help make the Huntington Beach area a great place to live, work and play.
Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2019 Huntington Beach Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Huntington Beach Award Program and data provided by third parties.
About Huntington Beach Award Program
The Huntington Beach Award Program is an annual awards program honoring the achievements and accomplishments of local businesses throughout the Huntington Beach area. Recognition is given to those companies that have shown the ability to use their best practices and implemented programs to generate competitive advantages and long-term value.
The Huntington Beach Award Program was established to recognize the best of local businesses in our community. Our organization works exclusively with local business owners, trade groups, professional associations and other business advertising and marketing groups. Our mission is to recognize the small business community's contributions to the U.S. economy.

Stewardship Campaign Update
|
|
We are close to the end of the “official” pledge period for 2020, and parishioners should take pride in the results we have achieved to date.
With a pledge goal of $477,000, as of Nov 18, we have promised to support God’s work in our world by pledging so far $442,961 representing 114 members or families.
We are so close to being able to set our sights on parish growth, seeking permanent leadership, and engaging more deeply in our community. Achieving our goal will allow those things to happen.
If you haven’t had a chance to pledge for 2020, please prayerfully consider participating with your vestry, the clergy, staff and so many other members by considering
by the end of November
what you can contribute. This way the Vestry can approve an accurate budget.
You’ll hear more exciting details about plans and activities for 2020 at the Annual Parish Meeting on Jan 19, 2020, meanwhile, again, THANK YOU for your prayers, support, presence, and love for St. Wilfrid’s.
In peace,
A.J. Wilson,
Treasurer

Self-Help Interfaith Program (SHIP)
|
|
St. Wilfrid’s will be hosting SHIP dinners from Saturday, December 14 through Friday, December 27 inclusive.
SHIP (Self Help Interfaith Program) is a “hand up” program, and sober living environment. SHIP works with people who are homeless, willing to work, and in need of some assistance. SHIP is a volunteer staffed program. Assistance comes in many forms: food, shelter, mentoring, and employment coaching. The participants are referred to as shipmates. While in the program, the shipmates will find a job, keep the job and start to build up a savings account to help themselves become more self-sufficient and self-reliant.
If you can, please help us provide support for the homeless in our midst. We need cooks, mentors and employment opportunities. For more information on SHIP, see
http://www.shipinoc.com
/.
Regarding St. Wilfrid’s support for SHIP, contact Jim Schweitzer (714-614-1468, jrs@jimbocosw.com) or Steven Nadolny (714-536-5172,
steven@jimbocosw.com
).
We will be doing sign ups on the Patio on November 24, Dec 1, and 8. We take food to them. The SHIP program has a house adjacent to Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Garden Grove. If you sign up, Jim and Steven will provide you with a map. If necessary, we can take the food to the SHIP house if necessary.
