Summer Sunday school kicked off earlier this month with our Summer of Service. Each week the children will learn about and participate in a service project to serve our church community, our local community, or communities in need around the world. As part of this program, at 10:30, the children will put together comfort bags for homeless persons. (At 9:00 nursery care for kids up to age eight is available.) Also, on July 3, there will be no Sunday School, due to the holiday weekend. |

We host Family Promise next week, starting this Sunday, June 26. Summer, especially this close to the holiday, can be a challenging time to find volunteers, but you are asked to prayerfully consider how you can support this ministry by signing up as an overnight host. We need two hosts each night. You are also invited to provide encouragement by leading fun evening activities and/or helping to provide dinner during the week. Please email Howard or Maria with questions or sign up HERE.

WALKING THE LABYRINTH - SUNDAY |
Amidst all the turmoil we are feeling in our world and in our lives at this time, walking the labyrinth offers us a time for intentional quiet meditation with God. You may walk the labyrinth any time when the campus is open. Pastor Shirley will offer more information about Walking the Labyrinth between services this Sunday, June 26, and again on July 31. Meet Shirley at the entrance to the labyrinth following the 9:00 service. |

We received an urgent request from Tempe Community Action Agency. TCAA's Food Pantry is experiencing unprecedented need. As food insecurity increases in our community, their food pantry cannot maintain the supply required to keep up with the demand. The immediate need is for meat and produce but non-perishables are always welcomed. (PLEASE NOTE: These items MUST be delivered directly to TCAA at: 2146 Apache Blvd, Tempe, AZ 85281)
We will collect non-perishable items this Sunday. Needs include: Ziplock bags (gallon size); high protein items (canned meats, peanut butter, tuna, low sugar protein bars), canned fruit; ready to eat items that do not require refrigeration, utensils, or cooking; dried/canned beans; canned and boxed soups; boxed meals; dried fruit; 100% juice; canned vegetables; oatmeal; rice; granola bars; pasta; mac and cheese; and multigrain crackers.
Alternatively, financial donations to TCAA's food bank can be made HERE.
