LOOKING AHEADThough none of the regular UMW
meetings are scheduled in July, it is a
time to contemplate the time ahead.
On September 23 our unit has been
asked to host the East district Annual
Celebration. The Executive Committee
will meet August 9th to begin the plan-
ning.
november 4th is the date for our an-
nual Bazaar. Much work is already in
progress to create an interesting inven-
tory.
you can help by donating items
you no longer need which might be
a treasure to someone else. We will
need collectibles—china, silver, jew-
elry—for Grandma's Attic. if you have
embroidery skills, your help
is greatly coveted to help reduce the
stack of tea towels.
Many of you do your crafting at
home. We need your donated items.
Summer is a slow-down time but
still there is much to fill your time and
thoughts!
MISSION uMission u is an opportunity to learn
more about three topics: spiritual
growth, a geographic area, and an issue
impacting society. Participants grow in
understanding of the mission of the
church in the current world context.
The studies give particular attention
to the responsibilities of women in the
fulfillment of this mission. This mission
education program strengthens the
leadership and membership of UMW,
and it can be a life changer for the indi-
viduals who attend. if you want to talk
to someone who has been to Mission u,
ask lynn Ashworth or Margaret Berger.
The venue is Cal lutheran in Thou-
sand Oaks, July 7-9. The cost is $275.
Registration deadline was June 15,
but you can still register with a late fee
of $25.

CITRUS CIRCLEWe are meeting at 6:00 pm on

rant, la Sierra exit at 91 Freeway.

It’s Budget Time Again!After the June meetings, most of the committees will be taking a sum-
mer hiatus.
Please be thinking about your budget for 2018, and have your
figures in to Becky Ruiz, Finance Manager, by Friday, September 1.
Call, stop by, or e-mail ([email protected]) your budget needs, which
will be presented to Finance.
FROM HERE TO THERE:
CalPac Conference, June 14-17
how are we going to get from where we
are to where we need to be? That was the
focus of this conference, the first one with
Bishop hagiya. Many of you met him when
the East district Welcome Reception was
held in our Fellowship hall last fall. he will
be the bishop only four years before his
mandatory retirement, and he has hit the
floor running as he has an eight-year plan to
complete in half that time.
his focus is still making disciples for the
transformation of the world, the mission of
the United Methodist Church. in the 60s and
70s, people came to the church. Today, the
church needs to go beyond the walls of the
church into the community. So we need to
know what’s and who’s in the community
surrounding our church. We need to remem-
ber our strengths are in our differences. if
we are to be fishers of men, we need to go
where the people are. We need to learn to
love in a way that goes beyond our walls.
The Bishop said that the church renewal
will need to be fueled by the laity (that’s you
and i) of the church, as there are more of us
than the clergy. The Conference will be de-
veloping the trainings for laity and clergy
for our work ahead.
We heard from many churches with proj-
ects that are reaching out into the commu-
nity to help those in need, such as
transforming an old hotel into a home for
the homeless, safe parking for the homeless
(a project created by los Angeles and the
Methodist Church
working together),
clothes closets,
feeding the home-
less, and growing
gardens. Mentoring is when someone leads
you upward while you are holding the hand
of someone (someone who may be a little
different from you) leading them upward.
There was such a positive vibe at this con-
ference.
As you know, Val Weise received her or-
ders as an elder in a very moving and mean-
ingful ceremony. Jan Wiley, our district
superintendent, is expecting their first
grandchild this week. So she is ecstatic! The
youth were impressive in their presence and
in their worship service they presented.
They were so full of enthusiasm and love of
God in their actions. do lee, who works
with our youth, read the scripture in Korean
at the youth Service. At the East district
Breakfast, your church received a certificate
for paying 100% of apportionments. Out of
the 80 churches in our district, only 60% pay
the full 100%.
Pastor Kim attended this conference as
our pastor, along with do lee. And as your
delegates, Kate hunter, Barbara Jo Wilson
and loretta Cudney were honored to repre-
sent your church at this Annual Conference.
if you have any questions or concerns,
please contact one of us.
Peace be with you,
Kate Hunter, Barbara Jo Wilson and
Loretta Cudney
United Methodist MenAnother season of programs, special events and board meetings have
concluded, and our committee will be dark for July and August. Our
September and fall programs are being planned now. The UMM will also
be handling and serving hot dogs for the Fall Festival on Saturday,
September 30.
We would like to thank all who made the June Scholarship Program a
success. This includes a two-sided sheet containing relevant information.
Stephanie Chandler, Administrative Assistant, formulated the data beau-
tifully, and copies were printed for everyone. it helped immensely.
Emily noble’s PowerPoint presentation of her studies at UCR was re-
ceived well. She also presented a video of her sister Erica’s academics in
Spain. Barbara Jo Wilson shared a cell phone message from Emma Speir,
who was unable to attend. From the Christian Education Committee,
Mary Ellen Burch, Chairman, loretta Cudney, lay leader, and Pastor
Kim and family were present. Also, dr. Kate hunter, youth director, in-
troduced the youth in attendance. Barbara Jo also gave updates of former
recipients.
dave Fraser, with assistance from Greg and lisa laird, cooked a won-
derful breakfast of quiche, fresh blueberry muffins and fruit. Paula
Kaufhold, with help from her son, hans, and daughter-in-law Moira, and
Barbara Jo decorated the tables with a garden theme. Bob nelson led the
singing of “in the Garden,” which appeared to be a very popular choice.
it was a grand event.
