Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the gay rights movement.

Perfect Arrangement merges mad-cap sit-com style laughs with provocative drama as two closeted U.S. State Department employees struggle to maintain their cover -- and their sanity -- in 1950's America.

Community Sing Opportunity

Everyone is invited to the most enjoyable musical experience you've had in ages, maybe ever. Come on Saturday, October 10th, to sing with Melanie DeMore, gifted choral leader. You don't have to read music or have a fabulous voice. You just need to love to sing.

Click here to register. Melanie will also be featured at the 10:15 AM service October 11th.

Community Outreach Opportunity

My name is Carlos Da Silva. Beyond my role as the Founder/Executive Director of Powered By Love Inc (a registered 501(c)(3) serving Maricopa County). I serve as the Church Moderator at First Church (UCC) here in Phoenix.

I am reaching out to invite your congregation to join us in bringing radical dignity to our unhoused neighbors through The 831 Experience (November 13-14, 2026).

What is The 831 Experience?

It is a 48-hour restorative journey serving 75 unhoused neighbors in downtown Phoenix. Guests are paired 1:1 with volunteer Navigators as they move through 8 Touchpoints of Care—including mobile hot showers, primary medical care, trauma-informed respite, and housing navigation.

3 Ways Your Congregation Can Partner:

Mobilize 1:1 Navigators: Invite your members to serve on-ground, walking alongside our unhoused guests during the event.
Host a Ministry Drive: Mobilize your church to collect high-need items like new clothing, hygiene essentials, and restoration supplies.
Sponsor Care Stations: Financially sponsor 1 of our 8 Touchpoints of Care as a mission or outreach project.
