The Easter Walk

Posted: Wednesday, February 10th, 2010, by Matt
Easter
 
On Palm Sunday afternoon, journey through the events of Holy Week, with witnesses who were there.  Participants will travel to different stations on this approximately 30-40 minute experience.  Don’t worry there will places to sit along the way, and the walk is not strenuous.  You may arrive anytime from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm.  Last journey will take place at 3:15 pm.  Inspiring for all ages.  For families, there will be an Easter Egg Hunt at 3 pm for children inside the Worship Center, along with crafts, and a gathering place for cookies and refreshments.   We hope you will join us to experience the full joy of Easter that comes from the sacrificial love poured out in the upper room and the cross!

 It’s time to get nostalgic and turn back to those good ol’ happy days of the 50’s.  Our youth group is inviting everyone to mark the date of Sun. Mar. 7th, 4 – 6 pm.   This festive fundraiser, “The Big Bopper” will be a 50’s Diner and Sock Hop where participants are encouraged to dress the part, enjoy the food, the entertainment and a few competitions as well.  We hope you will join the fun, while helping to support our youth’s summer mission project.  Don’t worry, you won’t have to dance…unless you want to!  Rock around the clock!  Tickets are on sale now.   Contact the church to RSVP your tickets.

It’s that time of year on Rodeo Weekend, where we invite you to dress in western or pioneer regalia to church services to remind us of our heritage in the southwest.  On Sunday, February 28th right after both morning services (usually around 12:15 pm), we will gather together for a BBQ, some great fellowship, games for the kids and this year we even plan to have some horseshoe games set up to try your hand. See if you will get a ringer.  Mark that date, dress up and join us for some great fellowship. This is a great Sunday to invite a friend!

The church will be providing the BBQ, paper goods and drinks. 
Those with last names that begin with A – G:   Please bring desserts
                          H – Z:   Please bring sides

Wesley Concert

Posted: Wednesday, February 10th, 2010, by Matt

The Wesley Foundation of U of A will hold a special musical concert! Students from the University of Arizona and Pima Community College will utilize their amazing talents and gifts creating beautiful, uplifting music. Their instruments and voices will inspire you! A love offering will be taken at the end of the concert with all contributions benefitting the Wesley Foundation’s upcoming mission trip.

In May, Wesley students will travel to NewYork City for an emersion experience with homeless through the Youth Service Outreach Project.  Participating in this mission, students will not only have the opportunity to meet and work with the homeless, but also be educated about the many facets around homelessness in America and have the opportunity to hear about ways to alleviate it.  Our own Lauren Lukas who grew up in this church will be participating in this mission experience.

VISTA BOOK CLUB

Posted: Saturday, December 5th, 2009, by Nedra

 

We will not meet the month of December. Our next

meeting will be January 21. 2010 at 5:30 p.m. in the

Education Building. All adults are welcome.

The book for January is Sarah’s Key by Titiana

de Rosnay. Ms. de Rosnay writes a compelling story

about Sarah who desperately tries to protect her younger

brother when the French police arrest Jewish families

one night. Vowing to come back to get him as soon as

she and her parents are released, she locks him in their

secret hiding place. Sixty years later, Julia Jarmond, an

American journalist investigating the roundup, discovers

a trail of secrets that link her to Sarah, and to questions

about her own future.

To RSVP or if you have questions, call Kay

Gragg, facilitator, at 544-2545.
