March 30 is a don't-miss Sunday!

Clear your calendar for March 30!

We'll begin in the sanctuary for worship, move outside to dedicate the pollinator garden and bury the time capsule, then go into the Saguaro Center for a spaghetti lunch (hosted by Quail Hour) and congregational meeting (to vote on our budget and approve leaders).

Bring sunglasses, wear a spring/floral outfit, and dust off those old big church hats if you have one for our garden party! We can't wait to see you there!

Lent 2025

This Lent; Our Dream Team imagined together our theme : An Opportune Time.

“An Opportune Time.” comes from Luke’s Gospel, right after Jesus is baptized. From that moment forward, everything shifts. His life, his purpose, his calling—it all unfolds piece by piece. That’s what Lent offers us, too. A chance to move forward. To let go of what holds us back and embrace something deeper. A time to be shaped, stretched, and maybe even surprised by what we find along the way.

Why Prepare For Lent?

God keeps God's promises.

God can be trusted.

Even So…God shows up.

The stories of the Old Testament are stories that Jesus would have learned, and knew, and followed. Our theme this year is inviting us to be mindful and pay attention to God when God shows up…Even So.

Preparation for Lent is actually a long-standing tradition in the history of the church.

But whether you eat pancakes or make doughnuts or not...doing some specific things to prepare can be incredibly useful in changing how you make your way through the Lenten season.

Especially if you want to have a different experience than you’ve had in the past.

See this guide on how to prepare your mind, body, and spirit into a Lent mindset.

Lent Sunday School class!

Sunday School Class taught by Bill Imes

Lent is a good time for considering the basic question of what it means to be a Christian. Pastor Max Vincent, in his book, Because of This I Rejoice, looks at this question through St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians.

Bill Imes will lead a study of this book on Sundays during Lent beginning February 18 and ending March 24. The class will begin at 11:15 in the conference room.
