Read MoreAs church, if you have been moved by a song, a cantata, or a worship experience, I have done what I came to do. In return, I have been blessed beyond measure to witness how you move & live in the world. It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve you all in this place. This was never a job for me, but a calling - to create the best worship experiences together, as a team, hand in hand. I didn’t do any of this alone. You were all here with me.
Read MoreFor 31 years, Keith Koster has shared his extraordinary gifts with Saguaro Christian Church. Across more than three decades, he has helped shape the worship life of this congregation in countless ways. Thirty-one is more than a number. It's thousands of Sundays, rehearsals, choir practices, Christmas Eves, Maundy Thursdays, Good Fridays, funerals, weddings, Easter mornings, celebrations and difficult seasons. It is choosing music for a particular moment, sitting down at the piano or organ, gathering musicians together, and helping a congregation find its voice. It’s living out one's faith in community with others. It’s leading Shelter and Bells and Choir and always remembering who needed a little extra attention. It’s the kindness shared when someone needed a reminder of belovedness. It's ALL of this and SOOOOOO much more. Keith has accompanied us, led us, challenged us creatively, helped us try new things, and provided a steady presence through season after season of Saguaro’s life. Keith’s ministry among us has been extraordinary. His creativity, musicianship, flexibility, faithfulness, and deep love he has for this congregation have left a mark on all of us that will last forever.

In a world that has us asking why and how every day, as followers of Christ we have a calling to love those who the world casts aside. We are called to welcome, forgive, share, teach, and of course love wholly and fully. We as Disciples of Christ are striving each day to live as a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world, creating a beloved community together. A beloved community where all are welcomed, where the table is open to everyone – no exclusions, where God’s presence enfolds every member of Creation. We will explore this season how to respond as Christ would in today’s times, becoming the beloved community together.
