Summer Fun

Learn to Crochet – June 4th will be the start of the crochet classes.  We will meet on Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for four weeks. We will be learning about the various years, crochet stitches, needles and make fun and useful items.  Please let us know so that we can notify you of what you will need for class.  If you would like to join us, please contact the office at 928-537-7830.

Learn Basic Sign Language – July 2nd will be our starting class of five weeks.  This is a beautiful language and easy to learn.  We will have fun as we learn the alphabet, numbers, and various religious and conversational signs.  If you are interested in joining us, please contact the office at 928-537-7830.  Please sign up so we have enough materials to pass out.

Kitchen Kabinet

March was the third month that the Kitchen Kabinet members made casseroles and soups for sale on Sunday after the service.  We don’t make a big profit, but so far we have made enough to cover the costs of ingredients and the containers, and we have purchased a nice food processor.  We have money above these expenses that hopefully will grow to be enough to buy pull-out shelves for the lower cabinets in the kitchen – then we won’t have to get down on the floor to find things!

We started to think about what we should prepare for April Casserole and Soup sales.

We managed to get EVERYONE in the parish hall right after the March 15 service to celebrate Fr Brian’s birthday with a surprise Build-Your-Own-Sandwich Bar and huge birthday cake.  When asked what he wished for, he said he wished he could blow out all the candles!  

For Palm Sunday, which happened to fall on the March $5 Breakfast day, we served foods like Jesus would have eaten on Palm Sunday.  Not a Passover meal, that came 5 days after he came into Jerusalem.  The day he came into Jerusalem was not a feast day, and he would have eaten ordinary Galilean peasant foods – we served lentil-chickpea soup, barley bread with olive oil for dipping, dried figs and dates, grapes, and olives.

Women’s Study Group

A few women meet together each week to think together about God in our lives. We share what is happening personally, and we share our love and caring with each other. If you are interested in being a part of this group, contact Caralee Cubbage.
