BLESSINGS IN A BACKPACK Blessings in a Backpack closed out their
year on May 19th with 108 bags filled. This year we have filled
3,780 bags for the children for the weekend for Bloom School. Thank
you to everyone who helped fill bags each week, and for the
financial help that the church has given. We will resume in
September. SAGUARO KNITTERS will be selling our Kitchen Kloths this
Sunday. This are handmade cotton dishcloths in a variety of colors.
We're selling them for $5 apiece. The funds will go to buy supplies
for our baby afghan project for Casa de los Ninos.

THE DISCIPLES WOMENS MINISTRY is very proud to give a check for
$5,000 to the Infant and Daycare Center to help the teachers with
their expenses. Thanks to everyone in the church who made such a
wonderful contribution to this important program. Many thanks to
those who helped with the Boutique. All of the money from the
Boutique as well as a donation from the DWM helped to make this
possible.
APPLICATIONS DUE JULY 1 FOR BRADY OUTREACH GRANTS Brady Outreach
funds are awarded for areas including neighbor-hood, community,
world/global, Basic Mission Finance, new church development and
ideas beyond the scope of our own church development. Requests are
not limited to church-related projects but are considered for
humanitarian efforts and out-reach as well. Groups should not apply
for funding that will be used for institutional sustainment
(salaries, rent, etc.) but rather for specific, preferably new,
needs/projects within the organization. There are so many deserving
groups out there, think
about it, won't you be an advocate for one? In the first quarter
we were able to award grants to the Sr. Jose Women's Center in
Tucson for homeless women, Community Home Repair Projects of
Arizona (to fix swamp coolers for low income people) and our own
Sarah Williams as she prepares to be a mission intern at a hospital
and nursing school in Mungali, India. Applications are available in
the church office. Questions may be directed to Sharon Jensen,
Chair, at [email protected] SAGUARO DISCIPLES WOMEN MINISTRIES
is proud to host a Church Women United Forum on Saturday morning,
June 13th in the Sanctuary. The guest speaker is Rev. Mary Alice Do
from First Christian Church in Tucson who has written a resolution
that will be presented at the Disciples of Christ General Assembly
in July. The resolution is titled "Becoming a People of Welcome and
Support of People with Mental Illness and/or Mental Health Issues."
Refreshments are at 9:30 and the program begins at 10am. Please
join us. Thank you. Carol Friesen
