Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Sunday, April 17

We welcome you back on Easter Sunday for an Easter Egg Hunt on our playground. We will gather near the fountain on the courtyard immediately following the 9:00 AM service. The hunt will begin at 10:00 AM. Bring your Easter baskets to collect some candy filled eggs.

We will gladly accept your donations of pre-filled Easter eggs or wrapped candy. You may drop off your donation in the church office by April 10^th. We also have empty reusable plastic eggs on the courtyard if you would like to pick some up to fill.

Connect with God, Nature, and Friends

If getting out in nature and hiking with some friends sounds like a good way to spend your Saturday once a month than this opportunity is for you. All hikes are moderate hikes that are family friendly. Our hike this month will be in Santiago Oaks Regional Park. We will meet at 9:00 AM on May 21^st in the parking lot. The cost to park is $5 per car. You will want to wear hiking shoes or good walking shoes and a hat. You will need sunscreen, a small backpack to carry your water (16oz or more per person) and any snacks you will want. To be good stewards of God’s creation and courteous to other hikers our group size is limited to 14 people. Reservations will be a first come first serve and can be made by emailing Mary Boyd at mmmwboyd@verizon.net.

Upcoming Hikes:

June 25 Upper Newport Bay

Messy Church – This Month

Messy Church October 9 @ 5:00 In-Person and on Zoom

This month we will be exploring how life is ever changing and with those changes our emotions change as well but the constant in all of the changes is God is with us no matter the season we are passing through.

Activity Time

All activities will be done together during our Hybrid Messy Church time this month. Everyone will need to RSVP for Messy Church. Please use the reserve link below to RSVP if you are attending in person OR to reserve your craft bag which will be dropped off to your porch. The craft bag will include items needed for the activities. Delivery will be Saturday morning.

Celebration – If joining online, please refer to the church or Messy Church emails.

Dinner RSVP for Messy Church, Dinner and Craft Bag Here

Sharing a meal is always an important part of our Messy Church and we would like to treat your family to dinner. For families that will be joining us on Zoom, we will continue to deliver a ready to bake pepperoni pizza with your craft bag between 10am and noon on Saturday morning before Messy Church. Because the pizza will need to be refrigerated, you’ll want to be home near that time so your pizza isn’t sitting outside. For our in person families, pizza will be served at your table. To RSVP for Messy Church and dinner, please click on the link above. We would appreciate all reservations by noon on Thursday, October 7th.
