Grief Ministry (GriefShare)
When a loved one dies, few people can understand how painful and isolating your grief can be. Our new GriefShare ministry will provide a safe, comforting place where you can talk to others about your grief. This 13-week grief support group will meet at the church. Please sign up in the church lobby. Please invite others in your life that might benefit from this ministry.

Quick Prayer Time Focuses on Myanmar
Our Persecuted Church Quick Prayer Time will focus on Myanmar. Join us on Sunday, December 10, at 11:45 am for a short prayer time together on Zoom. We will pray for Myanmar, where Christians are being targeted for attack by the Buddhist troops in a decades long civil war. Myanmar is #14 on the 2023 Open Doors World Watch List, which indicates a very high level of persecution. Join us and be inspired!

Advent Imaginary Prayer Group
Tuesday, December 12, at 6:15 pm
Advent Imaginative Prayer
Part of the wonder of the season of Advent is sharing in the experience of our Savior taking on human form and living with us. This season we are using our imagination as we enter into the narrative of Scripture to allow our hearts and minds to be truly transformed by God in our present lives. Join us Tuesday evenings at 6:15 pm to share in imaginative prayer through the Advent themes of Hope, Love, Joy, & Peace.
Date: December 12, & 19,
Time: 6:15 pm-7:30 pm (door’s close at 6:30 to begin reflection)
Location: 2995-A Airway Ave. Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Who: Anyone who desires to know Christ in a more real way! (anyone from any denomination is welcome)
You don’t need to prepare anything, the time will be guided by a spiritual director. Any questions reach out to Maryl maryl@stjchurch.life
