A
SPECIAL THANK YOU from Jeff DeYoung to everyone who organized and
participated in his Drive-by Birthday Parade.
It was a very special surprise and meant so much to him! He misses everyone and looks forward when we
can all be together again at church.
NEW
DAILY BREAD DEVOTIONALS for
June, July, August will be available at the Drive-by, Drop-off Event at
Heritage on May 30th.
Drive-by to pick one up!
SECOND DRIVE-BY DROP-OFF DONATION
EVENT at
Heritage will be Saturday, May 30 from
8-10
am. In addition to Agua Fria and HART’s year-round supplies, they are
requesting the following items most needed at this time. AGUA
FRIA: Hand soaps in pump bottle (not sanitizer), canned vegetables and
fruits, and dried pasta. HART PANTRY: For the first time will
provide over 150 backpacks to the schools throughout the summer, so continuing
donations are very important at this time.
Ruth is especially grateful for the monetary donations that Heritage has
recently provided. Staple items have
been increasingly hard to find and some replacements (e.g Ritz crackers) are
expensive. Your donations have been a
tremendous help in this difficult time. Most needed items at this time: Ritz
crackers, bread, juice, protein bars, filled sandwich crackers (e.g. Lance’s or
Keebler’s). And the usual items: apple sauce,
fruit & pudding cups, Handi-snacks (cheese & crackers in separate
compartments), instant Ramen lunch cups, instant Mac and Cheese, canned pasta.
The
same social distancing rules will apply for this drop-off event. Please place items in your car trunk and we
will take them out for you. If you can’t
get out to go shopping, you are welcome to bring a check made out to Aqua Fria
Food Bank or HART Pantry and we will mail them in for you. You are also welcome to drop off your
offering to the church if you do not do direct pay from your bank.
Hope
to see you on May 30th!

ARE YOU SEWING MASKS AT
HOME? The
Mission
Committee is curious about how many members are sewing face masks either for
yourself or others. Please let us know if you are involved in this
tremendous effort at home. Email Roni Kozlowski RKoz543@aol.com or Margaret Bailey margaretluana@cox.net to let them know
whether you are currently sewing or want to get involved in this project.
CHURCH OFFICE IS CLOSED so all staff can stay
safe at home and still work. Your calls,
emails, mail, etc., are still being received and responded to Monday through
Saturday. For emergency calls, contact
Pastor Karen at 602-577-1177 or preacherkaren@aol.com. If you have a key to the church buildings, we
ask that you refrain from entering the buildings during this stay-at-home
time. Thank you.
I look forward to worshipping with you Sunday morning. To prepare for our time together take a look
at the lectionary readings for this Sunday: Acts 1:1-11, Psalm 47 or Psalm 93 Ephesians
1:15-23, Luke 24:44-53
Be blessed. Be calm.
Be safe.
Pastor Karen
