Family Promise You are cordially invited to the Family Promise
Open House on Saturday, November 9, 2019, from 10:00 – 12:00 noon.
The open house will be held here at the church.
This will be an introduction to the Family Promise program. It is a program, in cooperation with the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District, to
assist homeless students and their families who are in need of a hand up. Members of the planning team will be there to illustrate how the program
identifies and assists homeless students and their families.
Annual Charge Conference
November 12, 2019 7:00 pm
Redlands First Church 1 East Olive Ave., Redlands
All Church members are welcome to attend this
meeting.
Dear loved ones at the House of Faith,
Would you recognize what the picture is? They are old speakers hanging
from the ceiling in Fellowship Hall, which have not been in operation for a
decade or longer. Paul, Deb’s husband, recently tested the speakers and
learned that they are in good working condition. Thanks to Paul’s lead, I
worked on the amplifier in the rear of the hall and man+aged to repair it.
The fellowship hall is now equipped with two independent sound systems.
Also, lights on stage, kitchen, Cressy room, and the family bathroom are all
replaced with LED bulbs. My next project for LED lighting is the education
building.
We are very saddened by the disastrous inferno, which broke out shortly
after a trash truck dumped burning garbage near Sandalwood Drive and Seventh Street in Calimesa on
Thursday, October 10, 2019. Very strong Santa Ana winds caused the fire to spread quickly into the nearby
Villa Calimesa Mobile Home Park. It destroyed 73 mobile homes, a park clubhouse, damaged 16 other homes,
and burned over 1000 acres. Considering the magnitude of the disaster, the human casualties could have been
greater. Still, two lives were lost. David and Prajna Faux, Pastor Ron and Joan Faux’s children, lost their home
in the fire as well. Thankfully, they found and moved into an apartment shortly after the fire.
Homes can be rebuilt and life can recover from tragedy with help. Let us lend our hands to help the victims re-
establish their lives through our service and contributions. Please donate compassionately and send the funds to
UMCOR (United Methodist Commission on Relief). Unlike many non-profit organizations, the operation of
UMCOR is funded by the denomination so that 100% of your giving is sent to the designees. You could just
give your donation to the church and we will deliver it to the local organizations directly. Our church has
delivered $1125 worth of script cards to the fire victims so far. Script cards are a more desirable method of help,
because the victims can purchase items they need. The Redlands Mission Area Churches have decided that
helping the Sandalwood fire victims in Calimesa will be the mission project for the year. We will also be
collecting a special offering at the Mission Area Charge Conference on Nov. 12.
Believe it or not, the year 2019 has only two months left. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and Christmas
will be here before you know it. Our annual Thanksgiving Dinner will be held on November 24, following
Sunday worship. This is for the whole church family, extended families, and friends. Please make every effort
to attend our annual feast and have a heart-warming camaraderie. Our main dish will be five star restaurant
quality turkey, ham, and Sockeye salmon from Alaska. Volunteers for the main dish are already lined up. We
could take one or two more volunteers to cook turkey or ham for main dish, the rest of you could bring mashed
potatoes, gravy, green beans, corn, dinner rolls, pumpkin pies, cranberry sauce, salads, desert, and others food
items. We will also need volunteers who can work in the kitchen, decorate tables, and clean up afterwards.
If any of you are in need of a pastoral visit, especially if you are in hospital, let the office or me know. News
travels fast but it does not necessarily get through to the office or myself. You could reach me by email
[email protected] or by phone 951-217-9701. Or just swing by the church to talk to me. You might find
me working on light bulbs on the ladder but I would be delighted to talk to you.
See you-all in church.

Bible Study with Rev. Deena Barwick
There are two passages of scripture that seem
undeniably "the same" - one from the Old
Testament and one from the New Testament. Is
one a prophecy and the other a fulfillment? OR is
the Psalm passage so important that it is repeated
to remind us to care for others? Or is it something
entirely different? I invite you for interesting
discussions with an in-depth study of Psalm 34
with a different approach to this passage in
Matthew. This will be a 4-week informal bible
study scheduled for Tuesdays: October 15, 22, 29
and November 5th. You may attend either the
2:30 pm or the 6:00 pm session or move between
them as your schedule allows. We will meet in
the Library. Please join us to discover how God
is calling us to a deeper understanding of caring
for others. Coffee and Tea will be provided.
