Upcoming Events
Summer Camp Counselors -- Thank You!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for giving a week of yourselves to our 4th and 5th graders up at Thousand Pines Jr. Camp. Your time, energy, and dedication to these kids was and is appreciated beyond measure. You helped make memories that the children will carry with them the rest of their lives. For some kids, seeds were planted in their spirits that will one day lead them to a full relationship with Christ. For others, their faith was strengthened. So again, thank you!

Post-Abortion Support Group: Coming in September: Are you experiencing feelings of regret, guilt, shame from having had an abortion? It may have occurred only weeks ago, or several years ago and the sadness is not going away. If you need to talk with someone who understands on a personal level, please call Nancy (714.398.1968) or Joetta (714.273.1890). These women have walked the path from abortion to healing and forgiveness.
Summer Orchestra As part of our Summer Classic Blend worship service at 9:00 a.m. we will be inviting the orchestra to participate on an "as available" basis. (Orchestra personnel will be polled weekly via email to determine if there are an adequate number of players.) There will be no midweek rehearsal; simply arrive at 8:15 a.m. on Sunday morning for a brief rehearsal and then play in our 9:00 a.m. worship service in the Sanctuary. If you are interested, please contact Mark Miller by email.
Our church pantry is in need of donations of peanut butter, canned beans, tuna helper, canned meals, plain rice (i.e. not Rice a Roni-type), canned fruit, cereal, and spaghetti pasta. Please leave donations on the church patio on Sunday mornings or in the church office during the week. These items and others are given to people who visit the church office asking for assistance.
Toys Needed Do you have "gently used" medium to large sized Fisher Price-type toys that you would like to donate to Children's Ministries? We would love your donations! Please call Dean White or Maryann in the church office (714.528.6496) to arrange for delivery. Thank you!
Looking Ahead:
Mom's Connection is a
NEW program for Moms of preschoolers. Get together every other week with moms who share a similar desire to be the very best mom they can be! Come and join other mothers of little ones (from newborn-six years of age) and take time to rejuvenate and renew yourself through speakers, crafts, and discussing all the treasures of motherhood. While you enjoy a welcome break, your child can also participate in this fun and exciting program. Each session includes stories, games, crafts, snacks, and playtime under the watchful eye of caring adults. Registrations can be turned in after worship services or mailed to the church office. Please make checks out to RDFC, noting "Mom's Connection" on the memo line.
*Pre-Registration Prices Mom only: $60
Mom + 1 child: $75
