Please bring in clothing for Casa Alitas!

At Casa Alitas we try to provide basic clothing (one set of underwear and socks) and if needed, shirt, pants, jacket, and if we have them, shoes. However, the new funding does not allocate money for clothing, so now, more than ever, clothing donations are needed. We are focused on only serving families with children under 10, pregnant women, and other vulnerable people. (Other LPAs are sent to another shelter, run by a for-profit entity.)

Saguaro has been faithful in making clothing donations; your ongoing support is valued. Please continue to remember those struggling to seek a better life here. Please bring your clothing donations to the large bin in our narthex.

Blessing of the Animals

October 13 at 10 am worship

We invite everyone to send in a picture of their beloved animals for a slideshow as part of the service. Upload the file to this Google Drive Folder. Name the file in the Google Drive Folder with pet name/owner (ie. Shasta and Hank/Jessica Braxton). OR you can simply email your pet photo with pet and owner names to rev.jessicabraxton@saguarochristian.org.

Pets are also invited to be present in service on October 13th, but whether they are in person or not, we would still love to have them on the slideshow.

Meet Deb Anderson, Operations Manager

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.

Be the Neighbor begins its second summer with Tucson!

Be The Neighbor visualizes a world where through love of neighbor justice is realized, people flourish, and communities are made whole.

Then Jesus asked,“Which one of these three people was a real neighbor to the man who was beaten up by robbers?”The expert in the Law of Moses answered, “The one who showed compassion.”Jesus said, “Go and do likewise!”

We are SO excited to experience our community together.
