I’m a multi-generational Arizonan. My mother’s ranching family settled nearby in the late 1800’s. Tucson has always been my home base, although as a government service brat, I lived in five southwestern states while growing up. I’m a quantum theory geek. I can’t sing anything on key, not even “Happy Birthday.” I’m a big fan of Fran’s favorite t-shirt artist and a fan of Fran, too. I’m also a big believer in the power of gratitude.

Read MoreAll ages can serve as an elder!
From Elder Chair, Susan Keenan:
What is an elder? As an elder you are called to be teacher, shepherd, and church leader. I love the use of “Give Care” so I’ll use it to really explain what an elder does.
An Elder gives care when they welcome newcomers on Sunday, listen to the concerns of a member, or visit someone who is sick. An Elder gives care when they actively pray with a member of the church, or keep that person in their prayers. An Elder gives care when they serve communion or lead the prayers of the people during service. An Elder gives care when they reach out to our ministers and make sure they are being served.
We need a group of people who give care.
We will meet on April 23 at 4:30 in the sanctuary. Whether you're a returning Elder, a non-serving Elder, or someone who is interested in finding out more about this amazing group, please come to the meeting.
If you're unable to attend, but are interested, please email Susan Keenan. Thank you.
