An Interview with John Moya - Photographer One of the things I love most about Temecula and the surrounding area is the thriving photography community. There is always so much going on and there are so many great photographers. So today I’m going to showcase one of the best!

John Moya is one of the most versatile photographers I’ve ever met. Once you see his work you’ll agree. His landscapes are stunning and his portraits seem to be alive! John is a busy photographer and it seems he is out shooting every day something different that is perfectly composed and edited.

I met with John to ask a few questions.

R: How did you get started in photography?

J: I began shooting with a Canon “point and shoot” camera in 2003 and shot just about everything. I shot hundreds of family photos and lots of scenery pictures.

Family vacations and camping trips to Yosemite made me want to capture these incredible sights. Finally, in 2009 I realized that I needed something more versatile than my point and shoot camera. And, much to my surprise, my wife Diana gave me my first DSLR on Father’s Day. My passion for photography really didn’t start until 2011 when I joined the Inland Empire Photo Club in Temecula (www.iephotoclub.org). I began attending meetings where I made many connections with other photographers. I have mentors in the club that inspire me with their craft and play a big part in my growth as a photographer.

R: What types of photography do you like most J: I have explored all types of photography and I have found that landscape and nature are two of my favorite subjects.

But recently I’ve found that portraiture and cityscapes have great appeal.

R: Who inspires you?

J: Ansel Adams always inspired me but after a photo trip to Yosemite I was hooked on his work. Also, friends that I shoot with inspire me with their enthusiasm and styles.

R: What was your most memorable photographic moment?

J: It was at Yosemite when I photographed the “Firefalls” in February. It’s a special time of year when the sun hits the waterfall just right and it seems to turn to fire! Very inspiring! And it only lasts a few minutes!

R: What is your favorite photograph?

J: It’s the chapel in Yosemite with snow.

I feel it’s a unique setting and very peaceful.

R: Where do you display your work?

J: I have shown my work at art shows, in businesses and at the Inland Empire Photo Club. I also show my work on Facebook and Instagram.

R: What’s next?

J: I have a trip to Africa planned for this fall. I love wildlife photography and have been inspired by several fellow club members who have recently visited Africa.

By Dick Cronberg R: What gives you the most satisfaction?

J: Photography has opened my eyes to seeing things differently and with more meaning.

I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty of everything around me. I want to continue to explore, discover and experience new places, capturing unique moments through my lens and sharing them with the world.

Photography has taken me on so many journeys through the years. My goal is to capture a unique moment in time and emotion from God’s beautiful creation of the world. I hope it will give the viewer a feeling of presence in the image.

His father survived the war but died when the author was a teenager, leaving him only with the knowledge that he had buried coins somewhere in Poland, and no information about his family. During his quest, Biederman uncovers many interesting and disturbing facts about his father and mother and their families, such as the fact that his father was the third person on Oskar Schindler’s list and had a chance meeting with Adolph Hitler, and that his mother was selected as a cook for the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele. The book details the author’s quest to unearth his family’s past and his father’s treasure and continues with his parent’s amazing post-war years in Europe and their eventual arrival in North America.

Conscious Parenting ~ Blended Families

By Traci L. Williams

Blended families are more common today than ever. It can be easy to forget that the adjustments are not always easy on kids. Not only are children of divorce usually transitioning between two homes, now they are living with one or two sets of step-parents and siblings. It impacts privacy, bedroom arrangements, friends, schedules and even birth order. It can feel like a hotel when you have kids constantly rotating between houses. Some spend very little time together and feel like they are living with strangers.

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you blend your family:

Tip #1: Don’t force the relationships.

Relationships and

bonding take time. Be sensitive to the feelings that your children have.

Consider their input. I would recommend waiting to blend families until good friendships and trust have been created.

Tip #2: Parenting differences. It is hard enough raising children with one mom and dad. Divorce adds an additional challenging element. Blending a family complicates things even further. Keep that in mind before you jump in. You need to look at your parenting differences realistically.

Tip #3: Relating to each other’s children. Consider how each of you will relate to and parent (or not parent) the other’s children. It is important that you have an understanding and agreement on this early on. Do not make assumptions or have expectations. You need to have the conversation.

Tip #4: Retain relationships with your children. Don’t get so caught up in your new marriage that your children feel like guests in your home. Spend individual time with each child. Both parents need to do that with their own children, and then start spending time with each other’s children as well. You are building relationships and a family unit. Everyone needs to feel loved and valued.

Tip #5: Sibling rivalry. If sibling rivalry comes up, do not send the kids to separate corners, yell at them or ignore it. You need to address it. They may be taking their feelings out on each other. Sit down and work through the issues sensitively and diligently. Your kids did not create the new living arrangements and they have no way of getting their old life back. Keep that in mind as you work through the bumps. Have compassion, empathy and patience.

Tip #6: Know the difference between attitude and emotion.

Sometimes your kids will seem like they have attitude, when they’re really just very passionate and feel strongly about something. Maybe they are pushing back about changes in the home. Let them know that you are interested in what they have to say, and you need them to share it with respect. Don’t stifle the sharing. Teach them how to express it respectfully. That will be an excellent skill that will serve them well. Remember they are learning by watching you. How do you handle your emotions when you are upset? You have a great opportunity to teach by example.

Even though divorce and blended families are common today, it doesn’t take away the sting and pain that many children experience.

Take the time necessary to develop a healthy and strong relationship with your children before embarking on a new romantic relationship.

They need that. Be sure to create a strong, solid foundation in your new relationship before blending families. You will need something stable to build on.

Temecula Valley Garden Club A Clear Vision for Our Gardens, Our Club and Our Community

Each year the Temecula Valley Garden Club’s picks a theme on which to focus its programs and activities. As we look toward the year 2020, we chose the theme “A Clear Vision for Our Gardens, Our Club, and Our Community”. This vision is what we hope the Club will accomplish this year.

The vision for the gardens is to view them as an integral part of the total environment and to care for them and the wildlife that inhabits those gardens using the best horticultural practices possible.

With this vision in mind, there are scheduled monthly meeting programs on such topics as “Growing Edibles in Small Spaces and Containers”, “The Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve”, and “Soft Succulents”. We have also planned Educational Workshops to provide additional information and hands-on experience. These will include “Why Garden for Wildlife?”, “Classic Drought Tolerant Herbs and Sensory Identification”, and “Proper Care and Pruning of Roses”. All workshops will be conducted by a Master Gardener or Rosarian and will be open to the public. Guided Trips and Tours and Creative Garden Workshops planned for this year are another opportunity for education and social interaction among members and guests.

The club has three community service projects this year. The first involves youth gardening. For the past several years, TVGC has assisted local schools in the developing vegetable gardens on their campuses for educational purposes.

That programwill continue and expand in the coming year.

The second involves planting trees in public parks and recreation areas. Partnering with local business and city administrators, the club hops to provide trees in areas where needed to improve and beautify these areas as well as enhance the enjoyment of those who use them.

A third community service project the club will undertake this year is for the benefit of Rancho Damacitas, a local home whose mission is to break cycles of poverty and abuse and to help struggling single moms get back on their feet. The club will landscape one of the group residences with drought tolerant plants, providing colorful flowers and fragrant foliage that attract butterflies, birds, and other pollinators all year long. A second part of the project is to plant an herb and seasonal vegetable garden to provide fresh produce for all mothers and children living there. The mothers will meet with club members at the garden

once a week to learn basic gardening as part of their ‘Skills for Life’ program.

The Garden Club is looking forward to another very exciting year. Visitors are always welcome at the meetings and events. We invite you to come join the fun, learn how to be a better gardener, help the community and make new friends.

The meetings are held the 2nd Tuesday of each month September through June at the Temecula Community Recreation Center (CRC), 30875 Rancho Vista Road, Temecula, CA 92592. For more information about the Club, visit our website temeculavalleygardenclub.com or Facebook.com/temeculacalleygardenclub.

are always top priority. Plus, the care and education your child receives at this age helps set the foundation for social and emotional wellness, teaches them to build and maintain strong relationships, and contributes to future success at school.

Fortunately, one simple step will often give you all you need to know about a program you are considering: taking a facility tour. Be sure to schedule one, or several, and make a checklist of features that matter most to you, such as play-based, individualized learning; small class sizes; highly trained staff; and great outcomes.

At Alexa’s Playful Learning Academy for Young Children (PLAYC) at our Murrieta Medical Plaza, Rady Children’s is proud to incorporate all of these features into a unique program for children 18 months to kindergarten. Our innovative, year-round model provides a safe, nurturing and stimulating learning environment for typically developing children and children on the autism spectrum alike.

Rady Children’s aims to address every aspect of a child’s well-being through innovative care and services, and Alexa’s PLAYC San Diego has been an integral part of these efforts for nearly a decade. We’re excited to make its popular, proven curriculum accessible to another part of our community, and to bring the following benefits to your neighborhood:

• Fun-filled learning customized for your child: Our philosophy states that kids learn best when they’re also having fun, and our teachers work each student’s interests into their day-to-day curriculum to optimize attention and development. With a team of interdisciplinary experts behind our teaching approach, we ensure kids are actively building communication, cognitive and social skills in a way that works for them — and that fosters fun.

• No overcrowded classrooms: Our student-to-teacher ratio will always stay low so students get the one-on-one attention they deserve.

• Teachers with extensive training: All of our teachers have earned at least a Bachelor’s degree, and have professional backgrounds rich in child development and education experience.

• Positive outcomes and bright futures for students: More than 60 percent of Alexa’s PLAYC students on the autism spectrum reach elementary school prepared to participate in regular education classrooms, and typically developing students consistently show strong academic aptitude and a higher-than-average propensity for kindness toward their peers.

Alexa’s PLAYC Murrieta is currently enrolling students! To learn more about the Alexa’s PLAYC experience, see our ad in this issue, visit www.radypreschool.org or contact Alexa’s PLAYC Murrieta at 858966-8797 to schedule a tour!

Le Coffee Shop a Welcome Bistro You are greeted by the heady aroma of good coffee, fresh baked goods, and a friendly hello when you step into Le Coffee Shop in Old Town Temecula. This shop is a delight if you are craving a French confection such as a fresh fruit-topped custard tart or a divine flakey, buttery croissant. A French pastry and a fresh brewed cup of coffee in the morning or afternoon, what could be better?

By Carol Malin Bistro in France to a French Bistro in Temecula “Charlotte and I were captivated by Temecula the moment we arrived in Old Town,” continued Yoann.

“The feel of the place reminds us of the town in Provence France where we operated a bistro for 15 years. We moved to the States a few years ago. We believe it was fate that brought us to Temecula. Why? Last year a man came to the French restaurant in La Jolla where my wife was sous chef, and her coworker encouraged me to talk to this fellow. Visiting over coffee, he told me that he established a French bakery in Temecula in 2016 and had decided to put it up for sale.

I told Charlotte and we made plans to look at the shop within the week. And here we are now, owners of Le Coffee Shop! We bought it last year and are very pleased with the shop and the town. The people here are very friendly, and it is a joy meet them. We have updated our menu and the kitchen as it is now a bistro serving breakfast and lunch, as well as a bakery-coffee shop. We welcome all to visit and enjoy our cafe.”

Bistro More Than a Coffee Shop Perhaps a tasty French sandwich for lunch! Try a Croque Madame (Mrs. Crunchy), a yummy toasted ham and cheese sandwich with a French twist. The twist: cheese is melted on the outside as well as the inside and crowned with a lovely fried egg; this is what makes it so doubly delicious and is what makes it so very French. The fashion-conscious French named the dish Mrs. Crunchy because the egg atop looks like a lady’s hat (or so they say).

Peer into the glass case at the counter and your taste buds jump at the delectable treats. The menu offers crepes dusted with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, French Cafés and Sweet Treats Go Way Back ‘Finding our bakery was kismet, much like our marriage.” omelets, croissant sandwiches, toasted ham and Did you know?

Multipurpose is Marvelous!

The dictionary defines multipurpose as "having numerous uses; being capable of being used for different things or in different ways" and I think that's great for a little black dress and for furniture! We all know a black dress can be worn with pearls and heels or with a jean jacket and ankle boots, right? It's so versatile we don't get bored wearing it and it's a great value over time because it can be worn for many occasions . . . and the same can be said for pieces of furniture.

•

•

•

•

• •

We all have a budget for furnishing our homes so doesn’t it make sense (dollars and cents, too) to invest in pieces that can be used in a variety of ways? A common and perfect example of a multipurpose piece of furniture is a sofa sleeper.

We use it every day as a sofa and when company arrives, viola, it turns into a bed and the office or den becomes a bedroom! The sofa sleeper is not alone.

There are many other pieces that can also be used in a variety of ways.

A writing desk can be used as a vanity.

Hang a mirror over it, add a lamp or two and it’s the perfect spot to put on makeup.

A sofa table may be narrow, however, by adding chair(s) it can be used as extra eating space or serve as a desk. If you don’t have a separate room to use as an office, this is a good use of space.

Depending on the size, a sturdy coffee table can also be placed at the foot of a bed or in an entryway. It also makes an interesting nightstand / bench when placed next to a bed. (See phot A backless bookcase makes a great room divider. Placed horizontally, it can also be used as a TV console.

A baker’s rack can be used in rooms other than a kitchen. Of course, it makes a cute coffee or wine station, but as an alternative, can provide additional storage in a bedroom. (See photo.) Use the wine rack section to organize scarves and the various other shelves to hold shoes, purses, etc.

By Rita Wood, The Room Arranger

• I’ve seen coffee tables with a hinge mechanism that elevates the top, turning it into a desk top or table for eating . . . how clever! I often see small cubes made of fabric or leather with hinged or removable tops. They are great for storage and if nestled together, turn into a coffee table/ottoman set. Individually, cubes can be used as extra seating or if it has a fliptop, it becomes a handy tray table.

• A wooden bench is one of the most versatile pieces of furniture. It can be used as a coffee table, at the end of a bed, at the dining room table or in an entryway.

Placed next to your bathtub it’s a great spot to hold a stack of towels or magazines.

• Like the versatile bench, small accent tables serve multiple purposes. Use them as a plant stand, side table or nightstand.

Those that are lower in height can be clustered together and used instead of a traditional coffee table. This concept works especially well for sectionals . . . the little tables can be moved to wherever you or your guests need them.

• And who says a dresser/chest can only be used in a bedroom? It works well in a dining room to store table linens or used as a beverage station or in the office to hold paper supplies, pens, paperwork, etc.

You probably already have at least a couple of these versatile pieces in your home, so like your little black dress, why not mix it up and try using your furniture in rooms other than what's expected . . . you may surprise yourself and end up with a new favorite "outfit" for your home!

An Exciting Transformation is Taking Place in Lake Elsinore

By David Baker, Dream Center Lake Elsinore Member

Have you noticed what's happening in downtown Lake Elsinore lately? There's a palpable transformation taking place, person by person and block by block. The Dream Center Lake Elsinore staked out its intention to transform the heart of the city when it first formed more than 4 years ago. Steadily growing in number and influence, the Dream Center leadership and volunteers are connecting isolated people to God and building a community of support through a variety of service projects and initiatives.

One of the latest events took place from July 21-27, when a large group of church youth from The River Church Community in San Jose, CA traveled to Lake Elsinore to take on service projects laid out by our local Dream Center. How large was the group?

A total of 80 people, composed of 68 youths of middle school through high school ages plus 12 leaders. Teams were formed to address specific goals and activities: assisting clients at the Hope Food Pantry, packing groceries at Grocery Outlet, meeting seniors at the Senior Village complex to address any needs and/or pray on their behalf, and distributing fliers for the annual Back to School Bash on August 10th.

Q: Of the various service projects, did any one stand out as being of greater importance or impact?

A: I think that the ‘door-to-door’ experience of meeting people, passing out event fliers (for the Back to School Bash) and praying for them was somewhat out of their comfort zone but it turned out to be really good. When we knocked on doors, people knew about the Dream Center and were excited to know how many have been impacted by the work of the Dream Center.

Q: Do you think the youth group will be affected in the way they interact with the San Jose community when they return home, for example, will they be likely to take their ministries to the streets there?

A: Yes, definitely. I think we see that church can be about going out on the streets and serving people. The Adopt-ABlock program is both relational and long term and that's the type of work that will ultimately help people to escape poverty.

Also, sometimes there's a feeling that in the big cities is where the important work is being done. But smaller communities have a lot to offer their residents and there are things happening in Lake Elsinore that we'd like to bring back to downtown San Jose.

"One thing we've learned is that poverty is not just the lack of material things but also the lack of relationships. So, we've been trying to help people by inviting them to community events, praying for them and serving people in their homes."

Anna Perronnes What the Youth Group Members Say

"I got the chance to help people that I would have never helped on my own."

Nate Beasley

THE GOOD NEWS

SEPTEMBER 2019

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

~Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

God’s Promises to His People

By Pastor John Stewart

The Kingdom of God is not established upon man’s promises to God, but upon God’s promises to man. This subject will therefore be of immense interest to every Christian because it is based on God’s Promises teaching Christian’s how they can keep from falling in this life and how we can be assured of a triumphal entry into the life to come!

2 Peter 1:3-4 “3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,” 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

First, we are assured that God has made full provision for us to have a life of holiness. This provision is said to be an evidence of His power: His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. Just as His power saves us initially, so His power enables and empowers us to live holy lives day by day. God’s order is—first life, then godliness. The gospel is the power of God to save from the penalty and power of sin, and from its damning eternity.

God gives you everything you will ever need “for life and godliness.” Nothing has to be added! “And you are complete in Him” (Colossians 2:10). Involved in the “all things that pertain to life and godliness”: new life by the Holy Spirit, the high priestly work of Christ as intercessor and advocate, the activity of angelic agencies on our behalf, and the light and instruction of the Word of God. From the moment we first

believe in Jesus Christ, God has given us His full power! “Has given” is in a verb tense meaning that God has in the past, with ongoing results in the present, permanently bestowed His power on all believers. Yet as Christians constantly struggle with sins, failures and troubles, many find it hard not to think that God has withheld necessary spiritual resources. Trusting His promises and obeying His Word will always guide us safely.

This power to live a holy life comes through the knowledge of Him who called us. Just as His divine power is the source of holiness, so the knowledge of Him is the channel. To know Him is eternal life (John 17:3) and progress in knowing Him is progress in holiness. The better we get to know Him, the more we become like Him. The believer’s calling is one of Peter’s favorite themes. He reminds us that: (1) We have been called out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). We have been called to follow Christ in a pathway of suffering (1 Peter 2:20-21). We have been called to return blessing for reviling (1 Peter 3:9). We have been called to his eternal glory (1 Peter 5:10). We have also been called “by glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3). This last reference means that God called us by revealing to us the wonders of His Person in His Son Jesus Christ.

Wonderfully Included among the “all things” which God’s power has given to promote a life of holiness are His “exceedingly great and precious promises.” It is estimated that there are at least 30,000 promises in the Bible. John Bunyan once said, “The pathway of life is strewn so thickly with the promises of God that it is impossible to take one step without treading upon one of them.”

The promises of God are the last of seven precious things mentioned by Peter in his Letters. Think of some of the precious promises that relate to a life of holiness.

(1) Freedom from sin’s dominion (Rom. 6:14). (2) His grace that is sufficient (2 Cor. 12:9). (3) Power to obey His commands (Phil. 4:13). (4) Victory over the devil (Jas. 4:7). (5) Escape when tempted (1 Cor. 10:13). (6) Forgiveness when we confess our sins (1 Jn. 1:9)—and forgetfulness too (Jer. 31:34). (7) Response when we call (Ps. 50:15). (8) God’s personal instruction and guidance for godly living (Psalm 32:8, John 16:13). (9) His Wisdom (Proverbs 2:6-8; James 1:5). (10) Strength (Isaiah 40:31). (11) A Living Hope and Eternal inheritance in heaven (1 Peter 1:3-5). (12) His steadfast love never ceases. (Lam. 3:22-23).

No wonder Peter says the promises of God are precious and very great! The Lord bestows all these blessings so that believers may become full partakers of the divine nature. “May become” does not mean merely a future possibility, but states a present certainty. When we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, we are saved and we undergo a radical spiritual transformation. This is what Peter means when he says we are made partakers of the divine nature. We are made new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), as we are born again (John 3:3). We died, and our lives are “hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). We are “in Christ” (Romans 8:1). As we live in the practical enjoyment of what God has promised, we become more and more conformed to His image. We experience His promise as reality by reading the word, learning from Jesus Christ and we do, the Holy Spirit changes us into His likeness from glory to Glory. (2 Corinthians 3:18) From the glorious blessing of partaking in the divine nature, Peter lastly turns to what believers do not partake in, “the corruption that is in the world by lust”. The life of the lost is decaying because of his corrupt sin nature, but the Christian can experience a dynamic new life of godliness because he has God’s divine nature within. Mankind is under the bondage of corruption (Rom. 8:21), but the believer shares the freedom and growth that is a part of possessing the divine nature. God has promised all that we need to resist temptation. When passionate cravings come, we can claim and stand upon His promises. They enable us to escape from the world’s corruption— its pride and selfishness, its sexual sin, drunkenness, filth, misery, treachery, and its strife.

“Spread your love everywhere you go.”

~ Mother Teresa

Teacher, Billy Said I’m Ugly!

By Judy Scharfenberg

My daughter is a teacher and she shared a cute story with me the other day. Her student came up to her desk complaining, “Teacher, Billy said I’m ugly.”

My daughter asked, “Well Caleb, do you think you’re ugly?”

Caleb replied slowly, “No.” My daughter asked him, “Do the people who love you think you’re ugly?”

Caleb again answered, “No.” My daughter suggested, “Why don’t you find someone you know is your friend and someone you know would not say that to you and spend time with them?”

Increasingly frustrated, Caleb replied, “Teacher, I just want you to do your job.”

If you’re a teacher, you are already in the thick of things. You are doing “your job” and so much more than just soothing spirits, every single day. You are going to have students with complaints a lot worse than being called ugly. There are children in your classroom who didn’t have breakfast; they are dressed in dirty clothes and they may smell bad; they are going home to an empty house with the uncertainty of whether they will get dinner or not; their homes are filled with inconsistency. It’s easy for them to feel ugly or worthless.

You have spent your day teaching, training, encouraging, counseling and soothing those precious kids. You have almost become a “third” parent. You may be the only consistent person in their life.

And let’s talk about that job for a minute. I asked several teachers I know just what their jobs consist of in today’s world. This is what they told me.

Kristin told me she prepares lessons every day for phonics, math, writing, science, social studies and computers. She says, “And those are just the basics. In addition to those I teach behavior management, kindness and working together.

Tatyana teaches in special education and she is a case manager for 28 or more students. Not only does she run their meetings and coordinate testing, she modifies curriculum to adapt to each student’s ability so they will be able to meet academic goals. She also has five more classes of regular education. She provides differentiated, guided, one-on-one teaching. She makes sure she has regular contact with parents always beginning her conversations with something positive regarding their child. Tatyana says, “According to 95% of the parents I talked with, all the calls they have received in the past has been about work not turned in or some other kind of negative report.

They don’t hear about the small daily successes.”

Gayle simply said, “It might be easier to ask what we DON’T do.”

Whew!

And now just a word to parents.

How many of you have asked your child, “Well, how was school today?” and you always hear, “Fine.” I have a better idea. Here are a few questions that will stimulate some conversation, help your child develop vocabulary and perhaps do a little critical thinking.

• “What made you smile today?”

• “Can you tell me an example of kindness that you saw today?”

• “Who did you sit with at lunch?”

• “Tell me something that you know today that you didn’t know yesterday.”

• “What was the hardest rule to follow today?”

• “If you could change one thing about your day, what would it be?”

• “What made your teacher smile?”

• “If you could switch seats with anyone in class, who would it be? And why?”

• “What kind of person were you today?”

Let me encourage you to stay in-

volved in your child’s school life. If you are able, volunteer to work in the class, go on field trips or do playground duty. Your child will benefit from this and the teachers are going to love you.

Next to you, your child’s teacher is one of the most important figures in their life. They need our encouragement. Why not send a note, give a call or drop a little gift off?

Oh, by the way, I worked with teachers for over fifteen years and this is what they told me. They have enough candles. And mugs with world’s best teacher written on it. But if you do give a mug, put a gift card in it. Trust me, they will love it.

Dear God, Grant our teachers an abundance of Your wisdom. Prepare their hearts to welcome and love our loved ones, and may we make sure to show them love and respect in return. Give them grace as they help students who aren’t thriving, courage to say what needs to be said, tools and knowledge on how and when to speak love, and strength when they feel weak. When they feel unseen, remind them that no moment goes unnoticed.

They are shaping the future in one million small - yet incredibly important - ways every day. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the gift of learning they share with our children.

Bless them, Lord, and may they see even just a glimpse of how their faithfulness will forever impact generations to come.

Amen.

The Family Birth Center at Rancho Springs Medical Center Gets a Make Over A new look, logo and colors enhance the largest birthing center in the region

The Family Birth Center at Rancho Springs Medical Center recently unveiled the newly decorated and updated Center with a multi-Chamber ribbon-cutting event.

The Center’s Director Gina Lowery, MSN, RNC-OB, says the new color scheme and brand logo have provided a soothing and tranquil look and feel. The logo, a butterfly, is a symbol of new life and birth.

The award-winning birth center features 17 spacious private labor and delivery suites, along with 24 postpartum rooms, triage areas, a dedicated post-anesthesia care unit, cesarean section operating rooms and a Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The NICU is a joint venture with Rady Children’s Hospital, and is “like a hospital within a hospital,” said Lowery.

“The NICU can care for babies older than 28 weeks who need higher level of care,” she said. “Through Rady, we have neonatologists and perinatologists who take care of high-risk patients, as well as advanced life support nurses in attendance at all high-risk deliveries.”

In addition, board-certified hospitalists who specialize in obstetrics and gynecology are in the hospital 24/7 to support on-staff OB/GYNs, as well as to deliver babies in the absence of the patient’s own physician. A 24/7 OB Emergency DepartDid you find all of the words ment is also available.

This means that for nearly every instance, the nurses ensure that mom and baby are together from the time of birth until they are ready to go home.
