We are hosting an early voting site and ballot drop-off in our Fellowship Hall Mondays through Saturdays, from 9:00-7:00. The Primary Election is on August 2, 2022, but Maricopa County is offering these "vote anywhere” early Vote Centers, which allow voters to choose from any open location, instead of being assigned to one location only. |

Amidst all the turmoil we are feeling in our world and in our lives at this time, walking the labyrinth offers us a time for intentional quiet meditation with God. You may walk the labyrinth any time when the campus is open. Pastor Shirley will offer more information about Walking the Labyrinth between services next Sunday, August 7. Meet Pastor Shirley at the entrance to the labyrinth following the 9:00 service. |

Taize brings a time for contemplative worship, involving sung and chanted prayers, meditation, a period of silence, liturgical readings, and icons - a time for you to spend in deep personal connection with God. Our next Taize Service will be held in Fellowship Hall on August 14 at 4pm. |

5 DAY ACADEMY FOR
SPIRITUAL FORMATION
|
Do you need a retreat, a time to recharge your batteries? Our moral and spiritual health depends upon our openness to “withdraw to a quiet place” (Mark 1:35). At the same time, we need to hear God’s call for justice and peace. Join us for this year’s Five Day Academy for Spiritual Formation September 18-23 at the beautiful Redemptorist Renewal Center near Tucson. Sponsored by the Desert Southwest Conference, this year’s theme is “Journey into the Heart of Christ: Spiritual Healing and Justice,” with faculty presenters Vance P. Ross and Hwa-Young Chong. Click HERE for more information and to register by August 15.

The cost of travel is high, and we particularly want to be able to support the members of the music staff who will participate in next summer's residency in Portsmouth, England. If you have unused airline miles that you would be willing to give to someone traveling to help reduce their cost, we would welcome the support! If you can help in this way, please email Carol. You can also make a cash contribution by sending a check marked for the England trip to the church office or pay online HERE. We can truly make this an all-church effort in a variety of ways: by traveling ourselves and by supporting travel for others. Contributions by members of the congregation who may be in a position to help others travel will be a wonderful way for you to support this effort and to ensure its success. Please give if you can!
