Now the moment for you to wake from sleepPaul’s letter to the Romans says, ..... We have spread so many coats of whitewash over the historical Jesus that we scarcely see the glow of his presence anymore.... So I leave you with a blessing to ponder: “May all your expectations be frustrated, may all your plans be thwarted, may all your desires be withered into nothingness, that you may experience the powerlessness and poverty of a child and sing and dance in the love of God who is Father, Son, and Spirit. And today on planet Earth, may you experience the wonder and beauty of yourself as ABBA’s child and temple of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Finally, remember when your heart can cry another’s sadness, then your heart is full. With you in the journey, Pastor Jeff |

Call for Counters!The BSLC Counting Team is in need of Counters. The Counting role is vital to the church as we tally cash and check contributions, prepare the bank deposit, and take it to the bank. We also collect the information for the Contribution Secretary and others who need to know when a deposit is made. Counters are in a place of trust since we see checks given by contributors. We’re looking for individuals who have integrity, can keep information confidential, and are able to pay attention to detail. We’d like to add 3 to 5 more counters to our team. Counter teams consist of two counters who work together, usually on Sundays, and they finish in about an hour. Team assignments are for a full month. We also have Floaters who fill in when someone is ill or on vacation. Contact our Head Counter, Terri Lappin (520-977-1290, tklappin@outlook.com), or let Jenni in the church office know you’re interested in being a Counter. |

Sunday WorshipWelcome into our community today as we seek to follow the one who gathers us. 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. Join us in-person, on Facebook Live at Beautifulsaviortucson, and on Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88641186563 Meeting ID: 886 4118 6563 and Passcode: 188820 |
