IN-PERSON WORSHIP AND LIVE STREAMING
Belong. Believe. Be love.

In-Person Worship Service at 9:30 AM, June 12.
Updated in-person details:
-
To create as safe a space as possible, masking will again be required in the sanctuary for in-person worship.
-
If you have any symptoms that are not usual, regardless of severity, please worship from home.
-
We strongly recommend being fully vaccinated and up to date with boosters, as gathering indoors for an hour comes with risk.
- Sanctuary doors will be closed during worship for safety.
We trust that you will prayerfully consider the best worshiping option for your household, and want to assure you that worshipping from home continues to be an option for those who choose to do so. We love you all!

It is with sadness we share the news that LaVerna Price died on Monday evening, June 6th.
LaVerna was hospitalized on Saturday, May 28th at the Orange Coast Medical Center for a heart attack, and she experienced additional medical challenges while there.
While we grieve her earthly loss, we mourn as those with hope grounded in eternal life through Christ.

Cal-Pac UMC Is Working with Mercy House to Collect Hygiene Products for the Homeless in Orange County
Churches of the United Methodist Church are being asked to collect 30 bottles of shampoo and 30 lip balms for hygiene kits.
With an estimated amount of 6,500 homeless people in Orange County, United Methodist Churches in our conference in partnership with Mercy House is helping to improve the quality of life for homeless individuals, through the collection and donation of hygiene products.
Persons experiencing homelessness in the United States experience significant barriers to self-care and personal hygiene, including limited access to clean showers, laundry, and handwashing facilities. Cleanliness becomes secondary to searching for food and stable shelter.
People can simply donate (via a check) to this cause or drop off the supplies at the church office or after a Sunday morning service.
Mercy House was established in 1988. The organization’s mission is to "be leaders in ending homelessness by providing a unique system of dignified housing opportunities, programs, and supportive services"
See Sue Harriss on Sunday mornings concerning donations.

UUMC MEMBERS IN ACTION
TRACKING VOLUNTEER HOURS
Being the Church is not something that just happens on Sunday mornings for about an hour, but it is a way of life. Discipleship is the journey of living not solely for self, but out of love for God and neighbor. As the many members of Christ's body, the Church, we are invited to be "all in," committing our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.
The many hours we spend in service to God at the local church and throughout the community on an individual level is impressive; yet, our collective efforts reach even farther and reflect the true vitality of our Church.
Beginning in 2022, we will be tracking volunteer hours done at church and in the community on a monthly basis. These hours will be reported to the Conference in our annual report, and we want to be able to celebrate the collective impact our church has in making the world a better place.
Prizes will be offered at our Quarterly Conferences to individuals who have submitted their hours and guess closest to the number of hours of service given in total by our UUMC members!
Allow your work to be counted collectively by filling out our tracking sheet TODAY!
(Volunteer hours at church include those in the office, counting, ushering, greeting, singing, decorating, cleaning, painting, teaching, serving on committees, calling our members, etc. Volunteers hours in the community include all those given to organizations supporting needs or helping individuals in the community.)
Click on the link below and submit it once you have filled it out. Thank you!
