" Love One Another"

John 13:31-35
The New Commandment
31 When he had gone out, Jesus said,
“Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once.
33 Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

It's time for our annual pledge drive.
If anyone would like to make a pledge to UMW checks can be made out to UMW so we can continue to do God's work in the community and around the world. We are still working for the benefit of women, children and youth in our community and around the world.
We are still doing business as UMW so checks should for now be written to UMW.
Peace,
Liz Hoskinson,
UMCTO UMW President

UMW Book Reading Program has new books!
And not only that, but the books will be available
after church during social time!
To earn a certificate from the UMW Reading Program, you need to read at least one book from each of the following categories:
All the books have been marked as to which category they belong, so it is as simple as finding a title that perks your interest, filling out a card that identifies you have it, and taking it home to read! Simple!
In addition to reading at least one book from each category, regular reading of the Response Magazine is also required. A copy of the magazine will be kept on the book cart. Alternatively, you can sign up for a print copy or digital copy to be sent to you by going to the following website:
I hope everyone, not just UMW members, will take advantage of some of the great reads that are available.
Any questions regarding the books or the reading program can be directed to Sara Richard. Call 805 241 9381 or email at

Oh God, it’s been too long
trying to overcome this pandemic & all the challenges with it.
People tell us our daily normal life is now a “new normal”.
That is where our Stephen Ministers can help.
You could call them the “after people”.
After this past 18 months we need someone to listen to us
& be compassionate, our lives have changed, so many emotions.
A Stephen Minister is there for you:
- After-the phone call you hoped you would never get
- After-the funeral,when everyone leaves & the emotions
you held in come rushing in on you.
- After-the divorce papers are served & the bottom falls out
of your life.
The list goes on, with someone walking with you there is hope.
If you would like a Stephen Minister, please call
Susan Ruwhui #818-665- 8033
or Dianne Clouter #805-990-8762
or the church office.
Blessings,
Stephen Ministry Leadership
