  • Christmas Gifts for Kids in Need (by 12/1 & 12/8)

    Help bless nearly 50 kids in our community who might not otherwise receive any Christmas gifts. We’re partnering with ICS and Angel Tree to help families living below the poverty line and incarcerated parents to be able to give their child a gift for Christmas.


    If you’re able to help, please stop in at the breezeway table Sundays to "adopt" one or more of these children, then shop for them, and return the unwrapped gifts by the deadlines so our Outreach Team can deliver them. Wrapping supplies are also greatly appreciated!

  • Women’s Christmas Brunch - Sat. 12/7 9am

    Ladies - Mark your calendar for Saturday, December 7th at 9am. Our brunch this year will focus on making a joyful noise unto the Lord!


    • Sign In and Tour of Decorated Tables: 9-9:30am
    • Brunch & Program: 9:30 to 11:30am


    Sign up Sundays in the breezeway starting November 17th or online using the button below.


    Cost of $15 per person includes a hearty brunch and special guest entertainment. Scholarships are available.


    This year, we are planning to bless two agencies in the Tucson area who minister to women, Sister Jose Women's Center and Eagle's Wings of Grace. We're asking the attendees, if they wish, to bring gently used or new purses or bags that can be filled with travel size personal items. They can bring either or both or plain old cash.

  • Congregation Meeting & Materials - Sun. 12/8

  • Contemplative Service - Wed. 12/11 6:30pm

    Come experience a peaceful space to slow down and reflect on the true meaning of the season.

Join us for an evening of calming music and reflective moments, as we create room to experience the stillness and wonder of Christmas.

  • GriefShare Sessions - Tue. 1/7 and 1/14 to 4/8

    Loss of a Spouse Seminar - Tuesday, 1/7, 3-5pm at Grace

    Come to discover:

    • Other people understand and have found ways to make it through

    • Reasons for hope
    • Practical tips for coping with the death of a spouse


    GriefShare Session - Tuesdays, 1/14 through 4/8, 3-5pm at Grace

    A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
