Six Things I Learned

From My Dad

“When I was a boy in my Father’s house, still ten-

der and cherished by my mother, he taught me

and said, “Lay hold of my words with all your

heart… and you will live.” Proverbs 4:3-4

T his month, in honor of Father’s Day, al-

low me to share six simple, yet pro-

found, lessons I learned specifically

from my Dad, that continue to “shape” my life

and inspire me to this very day. Trust me, I

could easily write an entire novel about the les-

sons I’ve learned from my amazing father, but

for the sake of brevity, I will try to restrain my-

self.

1. “Tell Us a Story!” When I was a young

child growing up in Garland, Texas, our family

of five would always sit down at the same time,

in the same place, around the dining room table

and enjoy our evening meal together. My Dad

sat at the head of the table, and inevitably, at

some point during the meal, one of us kids (I

have an older sister, Bea, and a younger brother,

Louis) would look over at him, and say, “Tell us

a story, Daddy!” My Dad is a great story-teller.

But the stories he told us were never “make-

believe,” or fairy stories, or stories from some

children’s book. No, the stories my Dad told us

were always true stories from his own childhood,

about his family, and the marvelous adventures

he enjoyed with his three brothers. He also told

us stories about his time in Korea, where he

served in the Air Force, separated from my Mom

and my sister, when she was just a baby. Every

story was exciting and funny; they were compel-

ling and poignant and faith-building. We knew

these stories so well, we had them memorized.

But we never tired of them. Instead, with each

re-telling, they grew ever more delightful, and

revealed new layers of meaning. We absolutely

loved them. But I can see now what I never ful-

ly realized as a child. Through these stories my

father was intentionally teaching us invaluable

“lessons for life.” Like Jesus, he was telling us

“parables” that so stirred our imaginations and

drew us into the action, we hardly realized we

were also being instructed in the importance of

becoming loving, generous, honest, responsible,

forgiving, and self-sacrificing people.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains where

does my help come from?

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of

heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip ~

he who watches over you will not slumber; in-

deed, he who watches over Israel will neither

slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you ~

the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon

by night.

The LORD will keep you from all harm ~

he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch

over your coming and going both now and forev-

ermore. (Psalm 121)

The Mission Statement of SonRise Christian Fellowship

Fallbrook Coffee Co.

“The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:37,38

Pieces falling in place for coffee shop grand opening

Prayers are being

answered

and the pieces are falling into

place prior to a June 29 grand

opening of our church-owned

and operated Fallbrook Coffee

Co.

The event, which will fea-

ture two bands and unfold over

a five-hour period, will cele-

brate 2½ months of church

ownership and a flurry of work

done by volunteers and paid

crews at the landmark build-

ing that Sonrise leases at

South Mission Road and

Fallbrook Street.

“I’m ready for it,” said An-

drew Ice who, since the shop’s

acquisition, has served as its

interim general manager.

“We’re excited about it.”

Planning is coming togeth-

er for the event, which takes

place from 3 p.m. until 8. The

event will cap another spate of

improvements to the property

that included the installation

of French doors alongside a

patio and the construction of a

decorative wall flanking the

parking lot.

Ice estimates that about

80 percent of the initial im-

provements are finished, and a

simplified food menu – which

offers a wide variety of break-

fast fare, sandwiches, salads

and wraps – was recently

printed and posted.

A white picket fence is ex-

pected to be in place in about a

month. All of the six part-time

employees who worked for the

shop’s previous owners opted

to stay on, and the business

has added two more workers

since it opened April 15 under

church ownership.

“We got all the kinks

worked out and now we’re

gearing up for the grand open-

ing,” said Ice, who is a member

of the church Session as well

as its coffee shop advisory

board.

In a recent chat, Pastor

Jerome Marroquin said he is

thrilled by the work done so

far as well as the receptiveness

among customers and the com-

munity to the shop’s new own-

ership.

“It’s good to see young peo-

ple in there with laptops,” he

said. “It’s exciting.”

And as the grand opening

approaches, Marroquin said

Sonrise leaders are still sorting

out some of the decorating and

operating nuances of a church-

owned coffee shop.

Prior to a press release

that was sent to local papers,

news of the church’s ownership

had primarily spread through

the community via word of

mouth.

Announcing an All-Bach

Concert by Sonrise

Organist John Redford

Saturday, June 28, 2:00 pm

Admission is free but a

free-will offering will be

taken in support of the

Music Ministry at Sonrise.

J ohn's thoughts about the

program: almost all

church organists including me

deem the music of Bach the

foundation of the repertoire for

the instrument. I thought it

would be fun to pull together

some of the pieces I have

played in the services over the

years into a concert program.

It will include selections from

the two main types of Bach's

organ works: the great prel-

udes and fugues, and a group

of the chorale preludes (pieces

which incorporate the hymns

of the Lutheran Church).

While too much of a good thing

is wonderful, a full program of

Bach's organ works might be a

bit hardcore for an infor-

mal Saturday afternoon concert,

so there'll also be some piano

music, and a concerto for oboe

and violin performed by Gracie

Fowler (oboe) and Elizabeth

Monacelli (violin) who have

graced our services recently

with their playing. And, the

Chancel Choir, led by SonRise

Director of Music Brenda Ta-

pley, will sing the beautiful

chorus, Jesu, Joy of Man's De-

siring .

J ohn was born in Newcas-

tle, England. He holds a

Bachelor of Music degree from

the University of Glasgow, a

Master of Music degree from

the University of Redlands

(where he met his wife, Mar-

go), and a Doctor of Musical

Arts degree from the Universi-

ty of Arizona. He has been Or-

ganist at Sonrise Christian

Fellowship since 1990 and Mu-

sic Librarian at Biola Universi-

ty since 1999. As for his experi-

ences prior to being hired by

Biola, if he could do them

again (SonRise excepted), he

probably wouldn't.

Created For His Glory

“Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness, come before him with joyful songs.” Psalm 100:1,2

music and

have a desire to

serve the Lord?

tunities available for

you to be involved in

the Music Ministry.

From The Heart

“And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Acts 2:42

My Father’s World

(Continued from Cover Page)

T hrough the simple, unpre-

tentious act of story-

telling, my Dad took up the

mantle of Family Historian.

He faithfully handed down to

his children the legacy of the

Marroquin clan, with all its vic-

tories and struggles, and joys

and sorrows. And by doing so,

he left us a well-worn, reliable

“map” to help guide us in our

own journey of life. Several

years ago, my Dad finally

wrote all these stories down,

bound them in a book, and

gave them as a gift to my sib-

lings and me. It’s a gift I will

always cherish, and it grows

more precious with each pass-

ing year. Through my Dad, I

discovered, that now, I, too, as

a father, bear the responsibility

of being the designated histori-

an and Story Teller in my fami-

ly. We are all part of the

Greater Story God is writing by

his Holy Spirit, and each of us

has a unique and vital role to

play in it.

2. Any Job Worth Doing

is Worth Doing Right.

One of my “chores” as a young

boy was to clean the garage of

our home on Hanover Drive.

Like many young kids, I would

sometimes try to take “short-

cuts,” and simply “go through

the motions” of cleaning, with-

out really applying myself very

much at all. When I was fin-

ished, my Dad would come out

to “inspect” my work. I soon

discovered there was no fooling

my Dad.

He was never the stern task-

master type – not in the least!

But he loved me too much to

allow apathy to rule my life

and the way I worked. “Son,”

he would say, after showing me

all the places I had intentional-

ly ignored or conveniently over-

looked, “Any job worth doing is

worth doing right. I want you

to do it again. But this time,

do your very best. That’s all I

ask, that you do your best.” It

was a simple job – cleaning the

garage. But because of my

Dad’s loving persistence, and

his unwillingness to let me

simply “get by” with sloppy

work, I learned the importance

of giving my all to anything I

do, of doing my best whenever I

set my hand to accomplish

something – regardless of how

big or small the task may be.

My Dad taught me the im-

portance of striving for excel-

lence, not by comparing me to

others who were better than

me, or by putting me down, but

by rooting for me, and encour-

aging me, and by telling me

how much he believed in me.

3. How To Throw Some-

one Over My Shoulder.

When my Dad was in his early

40’s, he decided to take up Ka-

rate as a way of keeping fit.

True to his character, he stuck

with it until he achieved the

coveted rank of Black Belt. He

used to offer a Karate class at

our Methodist Church when I

was a teenager, and I quickly

signed up. Once again, my Dad

became my mentor in the fine

art of self-defense. In those

days it wasn’t unusual for my

Dad to suddenly come up be-

hind me, regardless of where

we were or what I was doing,

and grab me around my chest,

pinning my arms. “What do

you do NOW?” he’d ask with a

good-natured chuckle. But I

also knew he was serious! He

wanted me to be ready for the

unexpected, and to be able to

defend myself and others at a

moment’s notice.

From the Desk of Beth Ann Murray Get Ready for a

Wilderness Escape ~

Journey of a Lifetime,

Where God Guides and

Provides!

On Monday June 9th

at 9:00 am, Son-

Rise Christian Fellowship will

be hosting their Awesome Va-

cation Bible School Adven-

ture.

This could be your

Family Vacation of a Life-

time! Bring your entire fami-

ly to Wilderness Escape, and

become part of the journey as

Moses and the Israelites

watch God guide and provide!

You’ll travel back into Bible

times-without setting foot

outside this church.

Each day, you and your

Tribe family become part of

history as they see, hear,

touch, and even taste what it

was like to live in the Bible-

times wilderness! Grasshop-

pers were really yummy back

then. You’ll explore the Isra-

elite Camp Tents, visit Moses,

take part in games, dance to

lively Bible songs, and sample

tasty tidbits as you discover

more about Moses’ adven-

tures.

Each day will be a new

adventure we will share with

Moses.

Day 1-The Israelites cross the

Red Sea.

Day 2-God provides manna

and quail.

Day 3-Israel defeats the Am-

alekites.

Day 4-Moses remembers

Passover.

Day 5-God gives the Ten

Commandments.

Why is Vacation Bible

School (VBS) so

important to your child’s spir-

itual maturity? When they

experience a VBS here at

SonRise, they don’t just hear

about God’s love; they see it,

touch it, sing it, taste it, and

put it into action. As they ex-

plore our Bible-times setting,

they go deeper into their

faith. Most importantly, chil-

dren and adults learn that

God loves them, no matter

what. And he sent Jesus to

help us understand His great

love.

So get ready to come,

and be a part of

“Wilderness Escape”, a high-

quality, Bible based, and

downright fun program for a

group of busy families.

Happy Father’s Day

from the

Preschoolers

Walk a little slower,

Daddy,

said a child so small.

I’m following in

your footsteps

and I don’t want to fall.

Sometimes your steps

are very fast,

sometimes they

are hard to see;

so walk a little slower,

Daddy,

for you are leading me.

Someday when

I’m grown up,

you’re what I

want to be;

then I will have

a little child

who’ll want to

follow me.

And I would want to

lead just right,

and know that

I was true;

so walk a little slower,

Daddy

for I must follow you.

Student Min i s t ry

“This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.” 1John 4:10

well the school year

has come to an

end, as has another season of

youth ministry at SonRise.

What a school year it was! I

want to give you all a recap

on what we have accom-

plished during the school

year, and what we plan to

accomplish during the sum-

mer.

Reaching the Youth

Our weekly outreach pro-

grams called One Life (high

school) and Breakaway

(Junior High) have managed

to average great numbers in

the community. The purpose

of those programs is to bring

in youth from out in the com-

munity into the walls of our

church so that we can teach

them about the Gospel. The

next phase of our ministry is

our discipleship. Throughout

the year we have hosted

what we call “Anchor

Groups.” Every age group

and gender have a different

group that meets in a home

throughout the week, and be-

tween our groups we’ve aver-

aged a healthy 5 students per

group. That’s a total of 30-40

students who are being disci-

pled in addition to those who

attend our weekly outreach

programs.

Goodbyes & Awards

At the end of May we said

goodbye to our graduating

Senior students who are mov-

ing on the next phase of life.

We gave away three awards

for special recognition to

those who we felt had went

above and beyond the call of

high school students. We

awarded two “Legacy

Awards” to Amanda Cunning-

ham and Emily Strick-

faden. We also awarded

what we call the “Anchor

Award” to Michelle Mad-

den. These ladies have not

only had their lives changed

by Christ throughout their High

School years, but also

changed the lives of those

around them.

Summer

Coming up this Summer, we

a r e h e a d i n g o f f t o

camp. June 8-14th we will be

at Shaver Lake with our High

Schoolers, and June 23rd-

27th we will be with our Junior

Highers at Beach Camp.

Throughout our summer we

are having our outreach wor-

ship nights (One Life and

Breakaway).

study: The Call to Follow Jesus by Kim Laliberte. It was powerful. Because of the monies

raised by book sales and generous donations, the Servant’s Heart Scholarship blessed three

young high school seniors, Amanda Cuningham, Melinda Madden, and Emily Strickfaden.

Women of the Word

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their

distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:27

L inda Mandrayar graced

us with her ministry The

White Rainbow Project during

our Spring Potluck on May

8th. She listened to the call to

take care of the widows as she

brings God’s hope to the wid-

ows of India. We all enjoyed

purchasing the beautiful

things made by the widows.

In India, widows are consid-

ered to be unlucky and there

are many demoralizing cus-

toms associated with widow-

hood. Many are stripped of all

color and allowed to only wear

white. Their hair is shaved and

they are told to give up all

adornment such as jewelry or

makeup. They are expected to

give up spicy food and sweets.

Worst of all, many are aban-

doned and shunned by their

families because it is believed

it was the woman's "bad kar-

ma" that caused the death of

her husband.

Because of this poor treatment,

many widows either flock to or

are abandoned in the ancient

holy cities of Vrindavan and

Varanasi where they are told

that Lord Krishna will take

care of them. Since there are

so many widows in Vrindavan,

it has come to be known as the

C i t y o f W i d o w s .

Once there, the unfortunate

widows are exploited by the

town which profits off the vari-

ous activities revolving around

it being a place of pilgrimage.

The widows lives revolve

around chanting all day, seek-

ing shelter, and waiting to die,

praying that their next life will

be better. "No joy, no color, like

white rainbows." But if you

look at it in reverse all the col-

ors of the rainbow actually

come from white light as it

passes through a prism. That

is why White Rainbow - we

want to shift their perspective,

from despair to joy, because we

believe that they are not un-

lucky or unworthy, but that

they should be loved and cher-

ished.

What Does It Mean To Be A DAD?

By Pastor Greg

Mens ministry

“As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Proverbs 27:17

A s a little boy I had a dad that went to work

during the week, yet, had time to coach

little league football and take the family on

special day trips and even some vacations. He also

made sure to watch Saturday morning cartoons on

television and did chores around the house.

As a teenager, I saw my dad go to work during the

week, yet, never seemed to miss a football or bas-

ketball game, a track meet, choir performance or

any other special program I was involved in. He

was there on the weekends to help hone my skills

and I saw him doing chores around the house.

As a newly married man, I saw a dad that went to

work during the week but was always available to

take my calls whether they were about random

sporting events, the news, or a major life decision

that I felt needed his input. Weekends would be he

and mom going somewhere, doing chores around

the house or visiting us.

As I became a young dad, I realized how

much determination it took to be present at home,

at work and in the community. I realized how

many hours it took to go to work during the week,

be at home to play and read to my kids, and watch

the Cartoon Network on Saturdays along with do-

ing chores around the house.

Then as I transitioned to being a dad of teenagers,

I became aware of how active you have to be in

order to go to work during the week, coach junior

high volleyball, attend all the other sporting

events, recitals, academic functions, then do it on

weekends too, and do the chores around the house.

As a dad of adult children I get the chance

to do breakfasts, lunches, dinners with them. I get

to receive random phone calls, emails, and texts

from them, as well as, times when the issues aren’t

random. I get to have them over for visits and to

go to their places to visit. I do things with Janet on

a day off and do the chores around the house.

Now I have transitioned to grandpa, I reflect on

how much more tired I am before, during, and af-

ter chores. I reflect on my appreciation of my

dad. I reflect on how there is no way any of life is

possible or purposeful without our Father in heav-

en! Yes, I have thanked God every step in this

journey but, upon reflection, I now see how truly

His strength is manifest in my weakness. I am so

thankful.

I am thankful that all of us have a heavenly Father

that set a good example for His son. I am thankful

for the words of Jesus to all of us about His Fa-

ther..., “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do noth-

ing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Fa-

ther doing, because whatever the Father does the

Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and

shows him all he does. (Continued on Page 18)

“I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.” Psalm 143:5

T here’s another “Senior Moments” you might be

interested in. I publish an email posting with

that name on or about the first of each month. It’s

intended especially for seniors (or younger people who

want to be familiar with the issues faced by the sen-

iors in their lives). “Senior Moments” is intended to

be informative, inspirational, humorous, challenging,

and occasionally thought-provoking. To be added to

the list of recipients, give me your email address

when you see me at church or send your request to

me at [email protected].

S everal of the senior members of our church

are giving life to the “Serving Seniors” concept

we’ve been talking about for some time now. Here

are two current examples:

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY

A number of our women have been working

on a new project they call the “Prayer Shawl”

ministry. They are knitting prayer shawls and

having the elders and pastoral staff pray a

blessing on them. The shawls are then given to

people within and outside of our congregation

who need a tangible reminder that others are

praying for them in their time of suffering or

sorrow. Contact Wilma Chain if you know of

someone who would be blessed by receiving

one of the shawls or if you’d like to be a part of

this ministry.

WOUNDED WARRIORS MINISTRY

Ed Blanz has initiated a ministry to military

personnel who need to recover their sense of

worth by being of help to others. One facet of

the ministry will be connecting the military

personnel with seniors in our congregation for

the mutual benefit of all concerned. An

“honorary grandparent-grandchild” relation-

ship is one of the projected forms this minis-

try may take. Talk to Ed if this strikes a chord

in your heart.

Why do I like retirement? By Chuck Boatman

My Father’s World

(Continued from Page 5)

M y Dad was always a

“physical” father, some-

one who wrestled with me on

the floor, so I could test my

strength, and gain a healthy

sense of self-confidence. He

camped out with me, and went

bicycling and hiking with me.

He never pushed me into any

organized sports in any way,

but he trained me and he

taught me, and by being physi-

cal with me, he shaped my mas-

culinity in a way that only a

father can shape his son. So,

let me just say, after our Sun-

day Morning Worship service, if

you ever come up behind me too

suddenly in the greeting line …

YOU HAVE BEEN FORE-

WARNED!

4. Actions Speak Louder

Than Words.

“Be doers of the word, and not

hearers only, deceiving your-

selves” (James 1:22). My Dad

has always been a “doer.” Oth-

ers may be more intellectually

astute, theorizing and theolo-

gizing much more ably and elo-

quently. But when it comes to

“walking the walk,” instead of

just “talking the talk,” I imme-

diately think of my father, with

great admiration and gratitude.

Dad has become quite deaf,

which, sadly, cuts him out of a

lot of daily conversations; but

I’ve never seen him moping

around, feeling sorry for him-

self. Instead, all my life, my

Dad has taught me the ways of

the Lord, more by his actions

than by anything else. My Dad

is an artist, who has always ex-

celled by using his own hands.

He is a humble, faithful, behind

-the-scenes servant of the Lord,

who uses his gifts to the best of

his ability to serve the body of

Christ, and to point others to

Christ’s kingdom. My Dad

taught me (and I’m still learn-

ing this!) that sometimes the

best sermons are the ones that

are seen, and not just heard.

5. How to be a Gentleman

in an Uncivil World.

Treating people with respect,

and especially your elders, has

always been hugely important

to my father. I remember going

through a rebellious phase in

my early teen years where I

was talking back to my mother

quite rudely and treating her

disrespectfully. I will never for-

get the day my Dad first heard

me do that. The look on his

face said it all, and he let me

know in no uncertain terms

how disappointed he was to wit-

ness such a thing. We were

taught from a very early age to

“honor your Father and your

Mother,” and anything less

than that was simply unac-

ceptable and reprehensible. My

mother was the main discipli-

narian in our family, but my

Father could often “correct” me

by his sheer presence. The fact

is, because he was always so

proud of me, I felt absolutely

awful whenever I saw that I

had disappointed him. Every-

thing I know about opening

doors for women, treating my

elders with honor and respect,

and keeping a civil tongue even

in the heat of an argument, I

learned largely from my Dad.

(Continued on Page 21)

“Be doers of

the word,

and not

hearers only,

deceiving

yourselves.”

James 1:22

Honor your

father

and your

mother.


Prayer and party are

two words that

don’t seem congruent, right? But

that’s what my friend Bill did

when he dubbed our prayer

gatherings “prayer parties ,” and

the name has stuck to this day.

We began meeting in homes and

hotel rooms for extended periods

of time to pray . After one of

these times (about seven hours

that felt like just a few

minutes ), Bill exclaimed to all

of us there, “This is a prayer

party!” I now try to regularly

join some of these spontaneous

prayer parties, times when we

simply pray for people, for God

to fill us and speak to us. We

gather in a room, invite the Holy

Spirit to engage us. We ask that

he’ll reveal to us images, in-

sights, words, and Scripture we

need to digest. I’ve seen busi-

nesspeople, housewives, creative

artists, and students joining to-

gether, hungry for prayer. One

can see the warmth of love radi-

ating from everyone after the

prayer gathering is over, a sign

that many have been inebriated

with the Holy Spirit.

Why do I share this? My hope is

that you will be inspired to

throw spontaneous prayer par-

ties. You don’t need to plan

them. You will need to pay at-

tention to the leading of the Ho-

ly Spirit. Look for situations in

which he might be leading you

to pray for people — when you’re

at a party, at a lunch appoint-

ment, at a dinner gathering,

even at a concert. When you

sense that God might be

prompting you, simply ask the

person if they’d like prayer. If

they agree, gently lay hands on

them, with their permission. Be

open to the possibility that the

Holy Spirit will reveal things to

you about those who are pre-

sent. Sometimes you may feel

like sharing something, while at

other times, you can just start

praying for them without

preaching at them or prophesy-

ing. Your prayer doesn’t have to

be very long; just ask God to

heal, reveal , affirm, lead, and

speak. Remember that the pur-

pose of praying for others is to

encourage them and to build

them up. While many of your

prayers might be fairly simple,

you should expect to experience

some crazy images or thoughts

as well. Remember that every-

thing is open to the scrutiny of

the Scriptures and the affirma-

tion of those around you. I sug-

gest that when you sense that a

word or image might be from

God, you avoid saying, “God said

this.” Instead , be cautious and

humbly say, “I believe that God

may be saying this.”

Joel states, quite plainly, that

there will come a season of an

outpouring of the Holy Spirit, a

time when dreams and visions

will be unleashed among God’s

people. “I will pour out my Spirit

upon all people. Your sons and

daughters will prophesy. Your

old men will dream dreams, and

your young men will see visions.

In those days I will pour out my

Spirit even on servants — men

and women alike.” 6 I believe

that season began with the giv-

ing of the Holy Spirit at Pente-

cost and is still happening to-

day. The time is now. The move

of God could be loud, but it often

reflects his character of gentle-

ness and joy. Gibbons, Dave (2011-10-25). Xealots: Defying

the Gravity of Normality Zondervan.

What do you think

of when you

think of gypsies? When Janet,

currently serving in central

Europe, thinks of them, she

thinks of opportunity to share

God’s love. In the past year,

the Lord has surprised and

delighted her and her team

with the opportunity to minis-

ter to the Roma (Gypsy) peo-

ple. Bible studies are taking

place in homes with no utili-

ties or indoor plumbing – but

whole families are coming to

faith. It is a pleasure and a

privilege to watch lives trans-

formed by the gospel.

In the Balkans, weekly

Bible studies are taking place

with the families of Roma

children who have attended

the outreach camps where

Janet plays a vital role. At

these camps the kids learn

English and are introduced to

the gospel in a loving and fun

environment. As Janet puts

it, “God is faithfully showing

his love and concern for this

people group who are often

unwelcome in their own coun-

tries.”

In addition to her work

with the Roma people, Janet

recently facilitated a leader-

ship development conference.

There were 21 leaders from

10 different nationalities and

5 continents. Janet says,

“What a glorious vision of the

global body of Christ!”

Church planting con-

tinues to grow in the area as

well. It’s a very exciting time,

watching the Lord work! Ja-

net is humbly grateful for the

support she has received. She

says, “ I wanted to write and

let you know how thankful I

am for the faithful and gener-

ous ways Sonrise supports the

work here… and throughout

Europe…. Your prayers and

faithful support of the work

here are appreciated more

than I can truly express….

Please give my warm greet-

ings to the entire Sonrise

family! I am richly blessed by

your faithfulness!”

FROM THE MISSION FIELD

Always Be Ready

“A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired.” Proverbs 17:22

ARE YOU READY?

PREPARE FOR FIRE,

DISASTER SITUATIONS!

T he fires near Fallbrook in

May 2014 and the electrical

power outages in September 2011

were vivid reminders of how nor-

mal daily operations can be totally

disrupted by unexpected emergency

situations near us. During both the

events above, many businesses

chose to close, including banks, and

traffic was restricted on some

streets.

The inconveniences were a stark

reminder for everyone attending

SonRise church to implement and

update their emergency preparation

plans and kits. The following sug-

gestions do not include everything

possible to prepare for disasters, but

they do focus on absolute essen-

tials.

Be ready for “reverse 911 calls”

from government authorities if

evacuation from your home to tem-

porary shelters is ordered. If you do

receive an evacuation order, notify

a SonRise deacon of where you are

after you are in the temporary shel-

ter. The phone lines for the Deacon

Moderator are: 760-941-9564

(landline), and 760-468-3073 (cell

phone). However, remember that if

there are widespread power outages

during an emergency, many phones

will become inoperable.

•Keep a fresh supply of potable bot-

tled water on hand. The water

should be replaced every six

months. Keep at least a gallon a day

for each family member. Also keep

other gallons of water on hand for

bathroom use in case tap water is

cut off. Periodically disinfect the

jugs of bath water with two drops

of bleach per gallon.

•Keep a supply of freeze-dried and

canned food; up to a week’s worth

of food should be kept for each

family member. Make sure to have

a manually operated can opener.

Avoid foods that will make you

thirsty.

•Flashlights should also be on every

floor of the home, and they should

be checked monthly to make sure

the batteries are still working. Keep

plenty of spare batteries near the

flashlights. A supply of candles and

matches is recommended, but care-

ful use is important to avoid home

fires.

•Keep a small, portable, battery

operated radio or television in the

home. Know how to tune it to the

local emergency channel. Keep ex-

tra batteries handy.

•Each home should have an emer-

gency first aid kit. One should also

be kept in the family car. There

should also be a disaster pack with

things family members will need in

case of a disaster. Don’t forget to

keep special health needs on hand,

including extra prescriptions, etc.

•Keep some cash at home, since

banks and ATMs may be disabled

in power outages.

• Finally, do not forget neighbors.

Remind them to make their own

disaster kit and be ready to help

them out. The Lord expects us to

love our neighbors as much as our-

selves.

By Rich Overturf

It’s a sight no one likes

to see, black smoke

on the horizon. For those of us

who’ve come through the 2007

wildfires, we know what that

smoke potentially means. But,

thanks to the Lord first and

foremost, and to the North

County Fire Fighters, as well

as Camp Pendleton and the

amazing air support we

received, we’ve come through

unscathed. Many calls came

into the Church Office from

members offering to help

those in need, from giving

people rides, to housing entire

families if necessary. The love

of the Lord is alive and seen

among this Church Family.

Thank you for being vessels of

Christ’s love, freely giving as

He freely gives.

As a result, church lead-

ers must now decide how and

where information will be post-

ed inside the shop that tells of

SonRise’s ownership of the

business. Church leaders must

also finalize the process that

will be used to allocate a por-

tion of the shop’s end-of-the-

year proceeds to worthwhile

community programs and pro-

jects.

“The coffee shop is struc-

tured as a church ministry, but

it will not function as a conven-

tional evangelical outreach,

Marroquin said. And although

some Christian-theme flourish-

es might eventually be added,

no heavy-handed decorations

are expected, he added.

“We’re trying to find a bal-

ance,” Marroquin said. “We

want it to be a warm, inclusive

place run by Christians.”

Also, church leaders are

examining the role that church

volunteers will eventually have

at the coffee shop. There are

numerous factors to consider

because the shop relies on paid

employees who are trained in

the job’s nuances and have

passed county-mandated food

handling and preparation

courses.

For his part, Ice is not

caught up in the fine-tuning

that will take place in the com-

ing weeks and months. He re-

cently enjoyed a rare day off,

and was later spotted in the

church offices catching his

breath.

“It’s been fun,” he mused.

“It’s been exhausting, but fun.”

“A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired.” Proverbs 17:22

My Father’s World


6. Speak Softly and Carry a Big Faith.

My Dad is one of the biggest optimists I know. He’s al-

ways been that way. But it’s not because he just hap-

pens to have a good natured, “positive” attitude about

everything (although that’s certainly true as well). His

optimism, and his tendency to view the proverbial glass

as “half full,” rather than “half empty” is directly related

to his great faith in an all-wise and all-loving God.

Whereas I can be one of the world’s biggest pessimists

(personally, I prefer the word, “realist”), I long to experi-

ence the child-like, trusting faith that my father has

enjoyed virtually all his life. When the Bible says, “Cast

all your cares upon Him, for he cares for you” (1 Peter

5:7), my Dad simply takes God at his word, and does

just that. He tends to expect the best from life, not the

worst. Again, not because he has a “Pollyanna” spirit,

but because he has great faith in a great God, who has

shown himself faithful time and time again. Because of

this, my father has never been one to panic when crisis

strikes (which it has many times in our family), or to

raise his voice in anger or alarm. Instead of cursing the

darkness (which, by the way, I’ve never heard my father

curse once in his entire life), my Dad has always whis-

tled his way through the tough times, echoing his favor-

ite hymn: “This is my story, this is my song, praising my

Savior all the day long!”

Happy Father’s Day, Dad, with deep love and

admiration from your grateful son. Some day

when I “grow up,” I’d love to be even half the

Dad you were to me!

Y ou Lost Me is the

cared for through hospice. Our weekly meetings are currently on Summer Break, but we

would still love to connect with you. Please contact Jan Hilton for more information.

A Special Note For Those Who Grieve Special Days Trigger Grief

Special days—anniversaries, holidays, birthdays—can act as emotional land mines. The emotions you

feel on those days can be as intense or even more intense than the emotions you felt at first.

Dr. Tim Clinton observes, “Too many people are unaware or under-aware of the normal grieving pro-

cess. For example … anniversary dates, birthdays, holidays and things like that can evoke a lot of an-

ger. When this happens, people feel like there’s something wrong with them or they’re not very strong.”

These feelings are normal. Knowing this, prepare yourself ahead of time for those special days. Read

the Bible to draw strength and comfort from it. Plan a quiet day with close friends or family members

who will surround you with love. Remember, when you are discouraged and at a low point relating to

your loss, the only remedy is to look to the Father.

“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet

praise Him, my Savior and my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you”

(Psalm 42:5-6).

Lord, I look to You when I am struck down again by grief. I will depend on You, and I will

praise You; for though I am struck down, I am not destroyed. Amen.
