Pastor's Message
Dear Friend in Faith,
We celebrate Palm/Passion Sunday, remembering the joyful moment of Jesus’ entry to Jerusalem. Jesus was recognized as God’s messiah, the true ruler of God’s kingdom.

Caring Kids Rummage Sale Success
Last weekend, the Caring Kids held their rummage sale at the church to help raise funds for a local charity:
Child Crisis Arizona. They donated $1,147 to the charity, and donated 12 bags of toys and children's clothing to refugee families. They also gave several boxes of items to the Arizona Humane Society Thift Shop. The experience taught the kids how good it feels to give and help others. Thank you to everyone who donated items, helped organize and publicize, and to all who shopped for a good cause. You are all God's love in action!
NOTE:
Childcare is available with a 48-hour reservation for all our
events and classes on campus. Call 602.840.8360, ext 134.
