LOST AND FOUND!

Oh Where, Oh Where Did My Hearing Aid Go?

Oh Where, Oh Where Did It Go?

We have a hearing aid that was abandoned on the hearing assisting device table in the narthex. We are thinking that someone took their hearing aid off and put a device on. It is NOT looking for a new home. It is hoping to return home where it belongs. Can you help? Contact the church office.

ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF BEING PART OF THE WIDER CHURCH IS THE BOOK STUDY OFFERED BELOW

The Decentering Whiteness Taskforce of the Southwest Conference UCC is excited to co-sponsor this training series along with the AFN Theological Dialogue Commission, AFN Cherishing Creation Coalition, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Arizona.



Beginning on Monday, April 22, Arizona Faith Network and the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery will host a 5-week training series that will guide us into stepping into solidarity and building relationships with Indigenous people. Created by Coalition co-founder Sarah Augustine and co-facilitated by Sarah and Repair Network Organizer Doe Hoyer, examples of skills to be learned are: identifying and questioning dominant culture assumptions, identifying needs and how to meet them, and reflective practice.

This course counts toward the anti-racism training requirement for clergy (MUST ATTEND ALL FIVE SESSIONS!).

The deadline to register is April 15. Register here. Please choose the $50 registration as the Southwest Conference is co-sponsoring the event.



WE ARE RECRUITING FOR ART SHOW 2024!
