You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. Our God and Father abounds in glory that just pours out into eternity. ( Philippians 4:19)

It is time to give God thanks and praise!  God has provided!  I would like to announce to you that the Transition Team has completed the work of submitting a detailed report reviewing the history and ministries of our congregation.  We also have completed the Ministry Site Profile ( MSP) and have submitted these two documents to the Council for approval.  This MSP  is  intended for use by congregations that are seeking to call an ordained minister of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The MSP is designed to stimulate a reflection, to be a summary of the characteristics and ministry of the congregation, and to serve as the first impression that you wish to give to prospective candidates.

After the Council approves these two documents we will be submitting them to the Synod for approval.  At that point these documents are available for your review as there will be copies available in the church office.  I would like to take a moment to give a special “THANK YOU” to the whole Transition Team who literally spent dozens of hours discussing and writing the language for these documents.  The team consists of : Pete Pederson, Mark Mittelstadt, Randy Karrer, Garrett Bryant, Laurie Karlen-Smith, Terri Lappin, Steve Claasen, Jodi Layton and Erica Clark.  If you see these individuals please let them know you appreciate their hard work!  

I do believe God inspired the language we came up with in these documents.  It definitely felt Spirit led.... 

Thank you for your support and helping those that rely on the Lot on 22nd! There is a lot coming up, as our ministry team has committed to the last Sunday of every month to feed people at the lot. 

Food donations and volunteers arealways needed, so please contact Betsy if you are interested in helping with serving or clean up. Questions, contact Betsy Korsmo: bkozz@icloud.com or text/call her at 520-425-6713.

A month-long food drive focused on the best thing to put between sliced bread: PEANUT BUTTER!

Bring your donation of jars of Peanut Butter to church and place in the bin marked ICS or on the table under the TV in the gathering area.

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 learning and seeking to live in G.R.A.C.E. (Generosity, Reaching Out, Advocacy, Compassion, Encouragement).   

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.”
