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.

Read MoreYou may have seen this sweet face around in a meeting or wandering the halls of the administration building, but who is it? This guy with the tie-dye vest is Hank and he is training to be a therapy dog. What that means is that he is working to be a presence that brings some joy, comfort, or relieves some anxiety in spaces of grief, sickness, or just life.

Her church email address is shawna@saguarochristian.org.
She'll be at church on a Sunday very soon to meet us all.
When you see Shawna in the office, be sure to give her a friendly Saguaro welcome!
On Thursday, January 4 at Habitat for Humanity, we came together as a group of folks from all different strokes to put up stucco base on a house for volunteers with Americorp. It was not only a service we could do to help those serving in our community as they serve others; but also an opportunity for us to get to know one another better as we worked side by side. Grateful for the way Saguaro showed up today and can’t wait to see the way our partnership with Habitat continues to blossom.
