Fire Update


I know that, at this point, I am probably being redundant since we have sent out an all-church e-mail, posted something on our church web site, ad made numerous phone calls to members of the church family, but I want to put the word out by as many different means as possible so that everyone will know what is going on with the fires in Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills, and Corona. I am sure that many of you are watching closely the news to find out about the status of the fires in Yorba Linda and Anaheim Hills fires. Right now, some of our church family have evacuated, some remain at home for the time being. Cindy was at the church for a while making phone calls, but was told to leave (by her husband) after I was turned away at Weir Canyon Road and again at Festival Center on Santa Ana Canyon. What do you need to know? Our house, as well as several others, is available for visitors who have been displaced. Second, I do not know if we will be able to worship tomorrow morning. I am asking everyone to check out the web site after 8:30 a.m. for details. If I am able to get through, I will be there to lead worship. If I cannot get through, I will post times and places of nearby sister churches. Whether we worship tomorrow morning, or not, we will gather on Monday or Tuesday evening for a time of prayer. Stay tuned for details about that. Finally, pray for the residents of Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills, Corona, Sylmar, Santa Barbara, and others that have lost or are in fear of losing their homes as well as the brave men and women fighting the fires. Remember, my friends, God is good and God is with us. Stay tuned to the web site for more updates. God bless.

Pastor Jon
