Indigenous Community Initiative
May 17 - 10-2 pm
1124 N. Third St., Phoenix

You are invited to attend the Diocese’s Council for Native American Ministry meeting on Saturday May 17. The agendas have included partnerships with Native American non-profits in the city centers, food sovereignty, education and support of children's literacy programs especially those that highlight Native American authors and partnership events between various AZ tribes and our congregations. No meeting is the same, which reflects the diversity of both our congregations and the 22 Federally Recognized Tribes in AZ. Thanks again for your support of our Indigenous Community Initiative. Contact Joe Dearborn to RSVP by May 5..
