Pastor Matt's Retirement

Pastor Matt Colby is retiring. His last service is June 30th. Please join us for a celebration of his lifetime of ministry immediately following the service. We will have a light luncheon, celebratory words, photographs, and cake. We welcome your spoken or written words of gratitude and memories. There will be a basket for a Love Offering.

Volunteers Still Needed for June Desert SW Annual Conference

We need 30-40 volunteers the first day of the Conference. Those numbers will decrease as the days go by. The jobs can be as simple as holding doors open, or as specialized as giving directions and guiding people to destinations. Additionally, we need at least four childcare providers. This a paid position, that requires Safe Sanctuaries training. The childcare team needs people who can transport kids in a church van. Note: we have a church van, but we need volunteer van drivers. If you are interested please email [email protected]

Remember Your Donations for THE INN Mission Project!

The Desert Southwest Conference Mission Project for this year's meeting is to collect donations for THE INN--a Tucson non-profit serving migrants seeking asylum. You can bring items from the list to the narthex on Sundays until June 9 or the office M-Th thru June 13

YOUR CHURCH NEEDS YOU!

It takes a village to make worship happen on Sundays! We would like you to consider helping out just one Sunday a month or maybe every other month? Our Worship Team chair, Sherry Hoskinson needs volunteers to be greeters (a great way to meet people), collect attendance registrations and offerings (a great way to avoid meeting people), set-up the communion table once a month (easy-peasy), and to help set-up and tear-down the Coffee and Cookies kiosk (a great way to enjoy some extra cookies).

C'mon! Pitch in! Give Sherry a call at 520-307-2470 or email her at [email protected]. Tell her what you will or won't do and when you would like to do it!
