A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated supplies and/or helped assemble 285 Manna Bags last Sunday! Your generosity and willingness to serve will make a real difference in the lives of those experiencing need in our community.

Manna Bags contain food, water, and resource information and are distributed through the Community Assistance Program (CAP), the Pima County Sheriff's Department, our church office, and by members of our congregation.

You can continue to be part of this ministry! Pick up a bag or two from the table under the TV in the entrance area and keep them in your car to hand out when you encounter someone in need. It is a simple act of kindness that shares both practical help and Christ's love.

Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus and for helping bring hope, compassion, and encouragement to our neighbors.

Welcome into our community today as we seek to follow the one who gathers us.
May you feel a connection to the beautiful Savior in worship this day! May you join us in Living in Grace, Love and Action.   

We gather in the unity of Christ and are all invited to the Lord’s Table. He is the host —we are all guests. We celebrate that Jesus came to us and continues to come to us.  In faith we receive the body and blood of our Lord and Savior. We believe that he did this “for you.” We welcome ALL to Communion for it is the Lord’s Table and Jesus’s gift of grace to the world.
