It's a Peanut Butter Drive for ICS

Every year, ICS holds a peanut butter drive to fill their food banks. We're going to assist them in reaching their goal of 10,000 jars! Please join in and bring your contributions to the narthex on Sundays in July or drop them by the church office M-Th, 10am-3pm. Thanks so much for participating!

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!

This is voluntary; you don't have to bring cookies each time your last name comes up! If it’s too hot we’ll gather in the narthex. Thanks to the Ad Board and the Finance Committee, we now have cookie time supplies as a budget item for 2024! See you at cookie time in 2024! Keep donating those cookies!!! They are delicious!
