Maintenance Needs
See something that needs to be fixed? Please add it to the list on the bulletin board in the courtyard or email the office. Thank you for helping us to identify issues and keep our campus safe and beautiful.
Prayer Chain Ministry Opportunities
Knowing others are praying for you or your loved ones is so comforting in difficult times. The Prayer Chain Ministry is being re-established, and now is your opportunity to share Christ’s love and compassion. If you are interested in serving as a prayer chain minister, contact Celia Warren by phone or email or signup online. If you have a prayer request - send it to us online.
Calendar for 2019-2020
If your ministry is planning an event during the remainder of this year and in 2020, please send all the details to Debbie Hubbs as soon as possible to avoid conflicts with other planned events.
Emergency Safety Procedures
The Vestry has adopted new procedures to ensure your safety. Doors to the church, office and parish hall will now be locked during worship services and other events. If you arrive late or need access to a building on Sunday mornings, check in with an usher who will have keys to unlock the doors. Ministries are also asked to keep doors locked during meetings and other events they are holding.
Avid Readers 2019-20 Booklist
Pick up your copy of the 2019-20 booklist in the church lobby, the Parish Hall or download here. It promises to be a great season with many interesting reads. A highlight will be author Julie Bradley joining us in February. Everyone is invited to join the discussions.
Healthy Packs Outreach Events
Every Thursday 8:30-10 am
Come to AZ Brainfood on Thursdays to pack food bags for Scottsdale and Fountain Hills students who don’t have enough to eat on the weekends. Pick up a flyer at the Inspire bulletin board. Come once or as often as you can. 
Eucharistic Visitors Opportunity
Each Sunday we send out individuals to share communion with those unable to attend worship services. Most Eucharistic Visitors are assigned one Sunday service each month. This is a wonderful opportunity to offer meaningful connections and form new friendships. Training is provided, and there will be opportunities to shadow experienced Eucharistic Visitors. If this sounds like a ministry for you, please use​​ this link to learn more.
