MANY THANKS!

"Thank You" to the congregation for their generous participation in the June "Pride Month" donations of "wish list" items for TIHAN, (Tucson interfaith HIV-AIDS Network). Although the final count of items was not yet tallied at the time of the newsletter deadline, there are already enough donations to fill 4 large plastic tubs.

Come join us this summer for a Bible study with no homework! Summer in Tucson is a laid-back time, but we still appreciate being with one another. That’s why we will be using the No Homework, Group Hug by Christine Tate. We will meet in the beautifully renewed Welcome area in our sanctuary from 9:30-10:30am beginning Wednesdays, June 25th and ending July 16th.

We would love to see you there for a no-stress, cool, get-together to learn more about each other and our faith journey. Contact Brenda Halferty for more information at [email protected] or 520-481-6993
