Rock the Week
Saying Farewell to July Sabbath

How was your July, Shadow Rock friends?

As we return from our time apart, here are dates and information for our fellowship:

  • August 6: return to worship No spiritual formation. Online worship will have a fresh new Zoom link to keep our time together safe.
  • Local COVID-19 cases are on the rise. We're strongly recommending mask wearing right now. Mask up for your own and others' protection.
  • August 14: Sermon Re-Boot Join Pastor Ken for a deeper dive into the sermon topic immediately following worship in the Narthex.
  • September 11: Kick-Off for Spiritual Formation It's a little 'old-fashioned,' but we're planning a return to Sunday morning spiritual formation for adults and children the Sunday following Labor Day. Save the date!
  • Shadow Rock Preschool is ramping up for the fall semester. There are limited openings for children who are 4 turning 5. Please check in with Liz Curry for the details.
Ktizo Korner

We look forward to our Ktizo friends' participation in worship in the near future. For this week, get re-acquainted with their heat relief work by visiting the Sign Up Genius.

We're grateful for our partnerships with other congregations in the Southwest Conference United Church of Christ which give us an opportunities for friendship and service.
Congregational Care

Community life brings opportunities to share joy and grief. This week we offer connection and mutual support:
  • The memorial service for Jim Stoll is this coming Saturday, August 6 at 2:00 pm.
  • This week is Betsy Davis's 100th birthday. It's not too late to send her a card to celebrate her being here - 1616 W Glendale Ave #291, Phoenix AZ 85021.
Summer Adventures with Flat Jesus

Did you go anywhere with Jesus over July Sabbath? You're invited to send your snapshots to Karen for a future Rock the Week. It's not too late... right click on the image, download and print. Venture out into the world (or just your backyard or neighborhood) with Flat Jesus!

With or without a Flat Jesus, we take our shared values of inclusion, justice, and spirituality with us wherever we roam.
