Workship on June 29!

June 29 will be our next celebration of The Fifth with First!

With the summer heat fully upon us we're switching gears just a bit with our Workship Service this time around. Our previous two Workship Services we've worked with our terrific partner Operation Fix-It to help our neighbors get some necessary yard work and clean up work done around their houses. Once the weather cools off again we're looking forward to working with Operation Fix-It again!

In the heat of June we need to be indoors, so we've made plans with another one of our excellent local partners -- Vista Del Camino!

Vista Del Camino is the social services coordinator here in Scottsdale. They provide a variety of services to Scottsdale residents to prevent homelessness, meet the basic needs of individuals and families in crisis, relieve economic and emotional stress and assist individuals to maintain self-sufficiency.

On Sunday June 29 we'll be a Vista Del Camino helping them get things ready for their Back to School Program. The Back to School Program assists up to 500 Scottsdale elementary and high school students each year. Eligible children are provided with two sets of new clothing, socks, underwear, a pair of shoes, backpack and school supplies.We'll be sorting clothes, hanging clothes, and getting everything together for a successful kick-off to this important program.

Currently we are planning on meeting at Chaparall Park at 8AM for a brief prayer service with communion, and then we'll head over to Vista Del Camino for Workship!
