WCCC Weekly: Tour Nixon Library with the Harvesters this Saturday

July 23, 2019

On Saturday, July 27, the Harvesters/Seniors ministry is visiting the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda.

The presidential museum features 22 unique spaces that incorporate multimedia and interactive technologies. Visitors begin their journey in the new Malek Theater and enjoy a 13-minute orientation film before entering the permanent galleries in the “Wave of Change” gallery, which covers a period of great upheaval throughout the 1960s and during the months leading up to the November 1968 presidential election. Travel through President Nixon's presidency and resignation and return to his origins in the “Back to the Beginning” gallery. From there, travel through Nixon’s life prior to becoming the 37th President of the United States. The journey ends with Richard Nixon’s post-presidency period, his impact on American culture, a solemn remembrance of Mr. and Mrs. Nixon’s memorial services, and the short “Epilogue” film at the conclusion of the exhibit.

The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum is also home to the gardens, the Birthplace of Richard Nixon, and the Presidential Helicopter.

Concert of Prayer

Wednesday, August 7

Come together for an evening of prayer. Our Concert of Prayer is the first Wednesday of the month. If you’d like to attend but need transportation, contact Pastor Darren or the office and we’ll do our best to arrange a carpool.

Pillowcases for Cancer Patients

Saturday, August 10 • 9am-3pm

A hospital stay can be a terrifying experience for a child – especially those with cancer and other life-changing illnesses. Recent research indicates 20% of children who are hospitalized with cancer and 30% of their mothers suffer full symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These rates are comparable to that experienced by U.S. War Veterans serving since the Vietnam War. The good news is trauma can be minimized and outcomes improved through experiences that reduce stress.

Ryan’s Case for Smiles (formerly ConKerr Cancer) was founded in 2007 to bring comfort and support to young patients and their families in hospitals around the globe. The group started with a simple goal: to create and distribute whimsical pillowcases that give children an emotional boost and remind them that they are not defined by their illness.

Making these pillowcases has proven to be very rewarding. In the past, as we have gathered to stitch, cut, iron, as well as paint and calligraphy greeting tags, we have made impressive numbers of cases. Come one and all genders and ages. For additional information contact Danielle Hoxie and Emi Iwanaga.

Our annual FunFest is a couple of months away on Sunday, September 15. Our Social and Fellowship Team has already started planning and they need your help. The team is looking for deep-fryers and prizes for our BINGO game. If you are able to help us out, see Marisa Martinez next Sunday.
