PACIFIC EARTHQUAKE & TSUNAMI ASSISTANCE
The United
Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is the disaster response unit of the Methodist Church. Fully 100% of donations go to countries or regions in need. In the past, project accounts have been created to assist Japan as it recovers from the tsunami, the Southern US, recovering from flooding, and to assist in famines in Africa.
For general information on the United Methodist Committee on Relief, please go to UMCOR.org
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FUNDRAISER
We are now selling “gently used” books on Amazon.com to help fund our Christian Education Programs.
If you have any gently used books that you no longer have any use for,
please call the Sherry Hanberg in the church office (714-776-5710).
(The books must have an ISBN number,
which is located on the back of the book or inside the cover.)
Books we cannot sell will be donated to Sunkist Public Library or shipped in the Troop Box mailings to our service men and women overseas.
This is a wonderful (and easy) way to fund this great ministry.
(Since this program started in May 2009, we have raised over $850.00 to help fund our Christian Education Programs!)
 | SANCTUARY ALTAR FLOWERS
Each
Sunday our sanctuary is brightened by beautiful altar flowers. Flowers
may be purchased in memory of a loved one, to honor family and friends,
or to commemorate any occasion. There are Sundays available. The
arrangement is yours to take home or give away following the 10:30 service.
Please consider signing up to purchase flowers. The flower chart is on the patio every Sunday morning. Or call the church office (714-776-5710). |

BOX TOPS for EDUCATION
Box tops are sent to a United Methodist mission project called Epworth Village in York, Nebraska. This is a home for at-risk youth. The box tops are used to purchase necessary equipment, including a van, sports equipment, computers and library books.
CAMPBELL SOUP LABELS
Campbell Soup and other Campbell product labels are collected, bundled in groups of 100, and sent to Henderson Settlement in Frakes, Kentucky. This is another United Methodist mission project. Proceeds from the labels have been used to purchase a van, computer, sports equipment and books.
CANCELED STAMPS
Canceled postage stamps are collected and sent to the Sons of Norway, where disabled persons are employed to sort them for large stamp collection companies.
COMPUTER PRINTER INK CARTRIDGES
Empty printer ink cartridges are recycled. Funds gained are used to defray costs in our church office, including a fund to allow us to celebrate our volunteers on special occasions.
EYEGLASSES
We collect used prescription eyeglasses and send them to Dr. Will Brinker in Ohio. He takes them annually to Central America and reuses them to fit those living in Central America who need glasses.
HEARING AID BATTERIES
Used hearing aid batteries are taken to the Anaheim Hearing Center (on Euclid St.) for recycling. Monies received are used for scholarships for low-income women to receive free mammograms.
POP TOPS
We collect the flip-tops off soda cans for the Ronald McDonald House near CHOC (Children’s Hospital of Orange County). This offsets the cost to parents staying at Ronald McDonald House while their children are hospitalized at CHOC.
TRAVEL TOILETRIES
These are collected and given to SHIP residents and homeless people throughout Orange County. (For more information on SHIP, see "Self Help Interfaith Program" under "Ways to Serve", "Outreach" Opportunities.)
