Read MoreSaguaro Christian Church has upgraded its styrofoam cooler cold-water cooler station to a Community Water Station, courtesy of Community on Wheels and Community Care Tucson. Community Water Stations provide publicly accessible drinking water to anyone who needs it. Stations are hosted primarily outside of privately owned locations that are open to the public and are strategically placed to serve vulnerable Tucsonans who struggle to stay hydrated in the desert heat.
Saguaro is the first church in Tucson to host a station. It is also the farthest east water station in Tucson.
Happy Pride Tucson!! Friday was the Pride Parade!! God is Love and Love always has the last word!! Wahoo!! Grateful to walk as a community of faith together to affirm all God’s beloved!

Read More 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.
For July the book for Quail Hour is Acting on Faith Stories of Courage, Activism, and Hope Across Religions by Diane Faires Beadle and Jamie Lynn Haskins.
For August the book is Blessed Are the Women by Claire McKeever-Burgett.

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.

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.
