DESCRIPTION
Santa Ana District United Methodist Women quarterly newsletterTRANSCRIPT
I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10 NRSV
Late July saw some 300 women and youth attending this year’s Cal-Pac United Methodist Women School of Christian Mission held again at Biola University in La Mirada. The theme for 2012 was, “That All May Have Life,” and Dean Collette Andersen challenged participants to an-swer the question, “How is fullness of life for all possible in a wounded, broken, and sometimes hostile world where systems oppress, hearts are hardened, margins separate, and attitudes demean?”
Attendees met in large group plenaries or repaired to various classrooms to study one of three subjects: Immigration and the Bible (Spiritual Growth track), Haiti (Geographic Track), or Poverty (Social Issue track). Children 7-10 and 11-13 years of age studied Poverty, the youth (14-17) studied Haiti, and the Bridging Class studied Immigration and the Bible. Classes were taught by 15 instructors in English, Spanish, Korean, and Tongan.
In addition, attendees were invited to participate in special interest groups that ranged from informal discussion of various theme-related subjects to dance to prayer meditation to an online communications walk-through to a presentation on what’s in store for United Methodist Women now as they have become their own agency, separate from the General Board of Global Min-istries. The fabulous Rev. Greg Norton was back this year, leading the plenaries in song and run-ning an interest group, connecting the theme of justice with shared songs.
Next year’s program: Living Sacramentally and Walking Justly (Spiritual Growth), The Roma of Europe (Geographic), and Poverty (Social Issue). The children and youth will study Migration.
Many thanks to Dean Collette Andersen and all who worked so hard throughout the year to make this year’s school a success!

Saturday, May 12, more than 50 women attended this year’s Santa Ana District United Methodist Women’s retreat at Com-munity United Methodist Church in Huntington Beach. With Rev. Steve Peralta as the facilitator, the women worked in small groups throughout the day, discussing the process of forgiveness.
Each “session” used Bible stories as the foundation, followed by questions that began with the stories and moved to those of a more personal nature. “The journey,” as it was called, helped par-ticipants recognize familial or other wounds and move towards forgiveness and reconciliation.
Community United Methodist Women members hosted the event, providing a beautiful continental breakfast and a lovely salad lunch, as well as taking care of all the details that go into wel-coming guests. Many thanks to Rev. Steve Peralta, to Commu-nity, and to everyone who worked to make the day so great!

The School of Christian Mission, held all over the country, is open to all members of United Methodist Women. We have the same theme, programs, and callings, but each is colored by the leaders and participants. (Which other areas are fortunate enough to share the time with the Korean, Tongan, and Hispanic Lan-guage Units?) Each of us and our members were affected by the theme of this year’s program: “That All May Have Life.”
I hope that you will be encouraged to have your unit present programs during the next 12 months that reflect the theme as it relates to your community. Remember that this is one of the ways our members are nurtured and find out how to reach out! See you in September at the District Annual Meeting.

Space is tight in this issue, and I don’t have much room to write, so I’ll be brief:
• United Methodist Women will continue to operate within the old District system for the time being. Right now it’s busi-ness as usual.
• School of Christian Mission was great. If you didn’t go, you missed out! Next year it will be known as Mission You.
• The Annual District Meeting is coming up September 15. We’ve moved the registration deadline to September 4. Ron Van Winkle of Ronald MacDonald House will be speaking. Should be good!
• Candle of Commitment nominations are due in October 1. They should go to Pat West, SAD Treasurer.
• I need your Quiet Disciple writeups no later than October 17. They can be up to 250 words in length. Please don’t be late!!

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Fred Hill knew the anguish of “living” in a hospital long term while he and his wife’s 3-year-old daugh-ter battled cancer. Out of his experience came the first Ronald McDonald House in the U.S. In the early 1980s, another man found himself in a similar position, It would be three years, three months, and six days before Ron Van Winkle would end the vigil for his son Patrick, who began his successful treatment for cancer at the age of 9.
So it didn’t take much convincing by Dr. Geni Bennetts to get Mr. Van Winkle onto the first board of trustees of OCRMH. She had invited him and about a half dozen other parents of children with cancer to dinner. When they left, they were committed to finding a way to secure two lots across the street from CHOC, one vacant, the other with a small house on it. The doors of the Orange County Ronald McDonald House opened in November 1989.
“There is as much therapy done at 2 a.m. over a pot of coffee in the dining room of a House among families with children getting treatment as any therapist can do,” Mr. Van Winkle says. “We never turn off the lights in the kitchen or dining room. That’s where people can find solace with a total stranger discussing subjects they can’t comfortably discuss with their families or closest friends. It helps them through their ordeal. It is the unadvertised essence of a Ronald McDonald House.” It turns the House into a home.
Come and listen to Mr. Van Winkle as he tells his story of anguish, perseverance, faith, and success. It’s a program you won’t want to miss!

El jugador de los Philadelphia Eagles Fred Hill sabía la angustia de “vivir” en un hospital por largo periodo cuando su hija de 3 años combatía cáncer. De esta experiencia salió la primera Casa de Ayuda Ronald McDonald House. Al principio de 1980, otro hombre se encontró en una situación similar. Le tomaría tres años, tres meses, y seis días antes que Ron Van Winkle terminara la vigilia por su hijo Patrick, quien comenzó su exitoso tratamiento de cáncer a la edad de 9.
Al Dr. Geni Bennetts no le tomo mucho convencer al Sr. Van Winkle para que fuera unos de los primeros miembros de la junta de síndicos de OCRMH (por sus iniciales en Inglés). Ella lo invito a él y a una media docena de padres de niños con cáncer a una cena. Cuando partieron, ellos estaban comprometidos a encontrar maneras de asegurar dos locaciones enfrente de la calle donde estaba el hospital CHOC, una vacante, y la otra con una pequeña casa en el lote. Las puertas de la casa ayuda del Condado de Orange Ronald McDonald House abrieron en Noviembre de 1989.
“Hay tanta terapia hecha a las 2 a.m. y una cafetera llena en el comedor de la Casa entre familias con niños obteniendo tratamiento como cualquier terapeuta pueda hacer” dijo el Sr. Van Winkle. “Nunca apagamos las luces en la cocina o en el comedor. Allí es donde la gente puede encontrar consuelo con un total extraño discutiendo temas que no pueden discutir abiertamente con sus familiares o amigos cercanos. Les ayuda a sobrepasar su calvario. Es la esencia no publicada ni divulgada de la casa de ayuda Ronald McDonald House.” Así se convierte la casa en un hogar.
Ven y escucha al Sr. Van Winkle contar su historia de angustia, perseverancia, fe y éxito. ¡Es un programa que no se puede perder!

Breakfast that the youth put on for the homeless. There are usually 100 or so “guests.” Some adults help out also, but it began and is primarily run by the youth. A second event was the United Methodist Women Luncheon and Plant Event in early June. We raised $1,000, which was split evenly between FFUMC nursery school scholarships and youth camperships.
Garden Grove: We will be making school bags for UMCOR this month; we sew them ourselves - the whole church helps! We’ll fill them next month.
Laguna Beach: Bob Eckert, a member of Laguna Beach United Methodist Church who has been active in mission for most of his life, spoke on “30 Missions: Seven Countries” in early June for a meeting open to all members of the church. Later in the month, we sponsored a bus trip to Homeboys Industries in Los Angeles. It was created by Father Gregory Boyle more than 20 years ago to provide jobs for youth as an alternative to gangs.

Capistrano-Palisades: We will hold a retreat for our unit called “The Cup of Life” in late October. It will be a time of spiritual renewal when we will explore how the ordinary cups that we use each day can become sacred vessels that connect us with life and draw us closer to God. (Participants will bring their favorite cups or mugs from home; they will use it during the retreat.)
Community: We held a retreat at Aldersgate in August. Septem-ber 17, we are having a speaker from the Council on Aging speak to us on planning our futures. October 15th we will have the League of Women Voters speaking to all interested neighbors on upcoming propositions. Everyone is welcome!
Downey: Our unit has been on summer break. We will resume our meetings and activities come September. We welcomed our new minister, Pastor Jon Wesley Waterson and his wife and fam-ily, in July! Our Rally Sunday is early September, and we will be participating in that with a table about United Methodist Women. We are looking forward to the coming months and the many op-portunities for growth and fellowship!
Fullerton First: At our June meeting, Susan Faber, director of our church’s Youth Ministries, talked about the Saturday Pancake

40 people took the trip, including a number of people from other local churches. In July, our every-other-month book discussion group met to talk about Susan Sparks’ book, Laugh Your Way to Grace: Reclaiming the Spiritual Power of Humor. Preparations are under way for our Harvest Festival Boutique to be held on Sunday, Oct. 28, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Winners of a silent auction will be announced at noon. Items will be available for viewing on Oct. 21.
Laguna Country: Our June 14th meeting (Flag Day) was cel-ebrated with Eloise Boortz’s presentation on the Haiti Mission Study, outlining key events in Haiti from 1492-2010 - the year of their devastating earthquake. Following this, our members and
church staff shared a catered luncheon. We were dark during the months of July and August. However, on July 15th our UMW sponsored a food drive of 700 plus pounds of food.
La Mirada: We did not have any meetings this summer, but we did have a Root Beer Float Night and a bake sale!
Mesa Verde: In June, our minister did a presentation on stained glass windows as part of a Saturday morning potluck brunch. We were on haitus in July, but held our annual Night on the Bluffs in August, an evening spent relaxing, eating finger foods, and watching the sunset from the bluffs overlooking Balboa Island. September 15, we will hold a rummage sale at the church. Do stop by if you get a chance; there are always treasures there!

Around and About - con’t.Norwalk: We had a wonderful dinner at Knotts Berry Farm before we broke for the summer. And despite the fact that we have been “dark,” we have continued to serve the adult daycare workers monthly. Currently, we are working to get ready for the District Annual Meeting in September, which we will host!
Orange First: In July, we held a very successful rummage sale. Over 50 people assisted in the week-long endeavor, and we are pleased to announce that we reached our goal of making our 2012 mission pledge. A lot of hard work, but many hands made it an enjoyable time. We are currently beginning plans for our annual Cranberry Tea on Nov. 3. This is a special event with individual beautifully decorated tables and a lovely luncheon/tea. Guests are always welcome. For more information, contact Chairperson Florence Towers at (714) 516-1945 or President Sylvia Coussa at (714) 667-7813.
Whittier First: We held our UMW Sunday May 27, with C-J Conklin speaking. We took a collection for the Thank Offering and followed the service with a luncheon for all church members. Displays of work by the circles and UMW groups were highlight-ed. In July, we went to the Fullerton Arboretum, had a nice lunch under the trees, and wandered through the beautiful grounds there. In mid-August we had a retreat in the San Bernardino Mountains. Our Hope circle is preparing and serving dinner one Tuesday a month at La Trinidad, a Hispanic Methodist Church in Whittier. Through the summer the Shawl Ministry and Sew-N-Sew Ministrry continued to meet monthly.
Yorba Linda: In May, we enjoyed a delicious brunch meet-ing along with a profile of Lydia (a dealer of purple cloth) from Acts 16, presented by our own Pastor Lynn and Becky Swan. In June, we prepared and ate a heart-healthy dinner and listened to a presentation by Daniel Landa, M.D., a cardiologist from the Ful-lerton Cardiology Office. We were provided with information on controlling cholesterol and hypertension and risk factors for heart attacks and strokes. The Placentia-Linda Hospital was on site to provide blood pressure checks. On August 25th, the church will hold their Third Annual Parking Lot Sale to support the missions and ministries of the church. The UMW always provide their expertise and energy towards this all-church event.
