Each week we will need between 3 and 8 readers. If you are interested in participating for one or more Sunday or have questions about what the readings will entail, please contact Chris at anaheimreaderstheater@gmail.com. | |

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 August 22, 2023.
Meeting time changed to 5:45pm to get Happy Hour pricing!

LUNCH ANYONE?
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, August 27, 2023, after the church service. Restaurant to be determined.
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)

If you are interested in more information, speak with Pastor Kim. | |

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!!!
