“SCPC’s ministry to 6th-8th graders is
now called Middle School
Ministry. The former midweek
program TNT (once standing for
‘Tuesday Night Together’) has now
been changed to MSM. We’re inviting
all 6th -8th graders to check out the
new MSM on Wednesday, Sept. 12th
from 6-7PM for what we’re calling
“MSM Warm-up”. MSM officially kicks
off in full on Sept. 26th from 6-8PM.

Topic: Sent in Prayer: An In-Depth Study of John 17 (or…The real “Lord’s Prayer”).
Go deeper into the fall sermon series with an in-depth look at the one recorded prayer of Jesus. This prayer exposes us to Jesus’ heart as
he intercedes for his followers. Come learn what Jesus is praying for you and me.

FOOD DRIVE - November 11, 18 TRIP - November 23-25, 2012
A VISIT TO BAJA by Jim Purser
On last Saturday, August 25, Ralph Conone, Greg Roberts,
Dean Monahan, Monica Balbuena, Stephanie Purser, and
Jim Purser made a day trip to the El Nino neighborhood in
East Tijuana. The trip had a three part purpose:
First, the group delivered a carload of donated household
goods and small appliances to the Lo Mejor del Trigo church for distribution in the local neighborhood.
Second, the group participated in distributing backpacks, school supplies, uniforms, and shoes to approximately 140
students sponsored for the new school year by members of Irvine Presbyterian Church and SCPC. The students
sponsored in this initiative ranged from elementary school to college age.
Finally, the group visited with the residents of the “Campania de Fe” hospice and surveyed the facilities for future upgrades
and maintenance needs. In addition to a much needed upgrade of the resident bath area, we identified further
improvements in terms of maintenance on the roof, painting, and other structural repairs.
It was good to see the additions and improvements at Lo Mejor del Trigo and the hospice as well as spend time with the two
boys we are sponsoring for the second year.
