December 2, 2025:  Tuesday Bible Study on Acts 9:10-18 Good morning my dear friends in Christ. This week brings us to the second Sunday of Advent, and we are reminded once again of the powerful gift that our Heavenly Father has prepared for every one of us. This week is Gospel Music Sunday at our 10AM worship, and we will gather for our traditional Chili Luncheon after the service. You may bring a dish to share. Please be reminded that our warming cabinet in the kitchen is no

December 1, 2025:  Monday Bible Study on Acts 9:1-9 I would say good morning to you; however, this Bible Study is coming to you on Sunday evening due to my schedule tomorrow which will not give me time to do the Bible Study in the morning. Today at worship we had wonderful Advent Season hymns, and an opportunity for laying on of hands for healing for anyone who wanted to take part. "O Come, O Come, Emanuel” In this season of the church year, we can all take the time to pray f

November 24, 2025:  Monday Bible Study There will be no Bible Study today. After a night of no sleep due to a painful back molar, I spent the morning with the dentist. The tooth has been extracted. However, I finally have no pain in my face like last night, so I will be with you tomorrow for the Tuesday Bible Study in the morning. Thanks for your understanding. With Love in Christ, Pastor Kim ============================================================= November 25, 2025:  Tu

November 18, 2025:  Tuesday Bible Study on Acts 8:14-25 Blessings and Peace to you on this Tuesday morning. Yesterday's study did not happen as I continued to recover from an illness over the weekend, including Sunday, and I spent much of yesterday sleeping. I want to thank you for your prayers. Please pray for Lisa who is having testing and surgery for a possible pre-cancer condition, or for an existing cancer, that the surgery results will be good. Continue your prayers for

November 10, 2025:  Monday Bible Study on Acts 8:5-13 Good morning my dear friends in Christ.  I was shocked this AM when I saw the news that indicated that Chicago, and the eastern shore of Lake Michigan were receiving some rather large snowfalls today.  Around Chicago maybe as much as 18".  Both Melody and I remember all too well what it was like to have 36 inches of snow with 40 - 50 MPH wind when we lived just a couple of miles off Lake Michigan at our farmhouse.  We were

November 4, 2025:  Tuesday Bible Study on Acts 8:1-4 Dear Bible Study folks, I hope that this passage today is a reminder of the power of the world to seek to undo the work of the Gospel that has been the mission of the Church now for nearly 2000 years. Though we are reading about Stephen's death by stoning, and, in today's passage, the outrage of the Jews at Christians in Jerusalem, and the Jews willingness to chase them down, enter their homes, and begin an early first cent

November 3, 2025:  Monday Bible Study on Acts 7:54 - 8:1 Good morning on yet another lovely autumn day here in Tucson. I pray that your weekend was an opportunity to grow closer to Christ our Lord, and that in that growth, you have become committed to applying the Law of Christ's Love in every circumstance in which you find yourself. I was so happy to see Teri H. back in church on Sunday morning for the first time since her new type of hip replacement surgery nearly a month a

October 28, 2025:  Tuesday Bible Study on Acts 7:37-53 Good morning my dear friends. Please continue to pray for Becky Prasek as she undergoes testing to reach a diagnosis that will help her specialists to plan a course of treatment. It looks now like it may well be a nerve getting too crowded in her spinal column, so pray for great test results for Becky. Please also pray for Mark and Linda Backer who live in Wisconsin. We pray for their health throughout the past six months

October 27, 2025:  Monday Bible Study on Acts 7:17-36 Blessings and Peace be with you this morning in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As I walk out the door on these cool and crisp mornings I give thanks to God for such beauty and comfort. I must admit that I think my teens don't get it. For them it seems to be just another day of commitments and schoolwork, so I comment every day to them about the wonderful quality of the morning and deep blue of the morning sky. Perhaps

October 21, 2025:  Tuesday Bible Study on Acts 7:8-16 Good morning my dear friends.  An urgent matter for prayer today is to keep our parish administrator Debbie, and her husband Jeff in your prayers.  Jeff is about to have a second surgery as he has developed complications from his first surgery.  Please keep them both in your prayers.  Also pray for Becky healing from weakness, and future testing to determine its cause.  Also continue to pray for Teri who is working to rega

October 20, 2025:  Monday Bible Study on Acts 7:1-7 I pray that this beautiful desert morning has lifted your spirits, or no matter where you may be, that the witness of Stephen in our texts today, and for several studies of this part of the Acts of the Apostles, finds you comforted in your faith. Please continue praying for Kandice, Lisa, and Alexis.  Kandice continues in hospice care at home, and is very near to her triumph in Christ, and her entry into His heavenly kingdom

October 14, 2025:  Tuesday Bible Study on Acts 6:8-15 Good morning in the Name, and by the Power and Love, of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I would like to ask for your prayers for my sleep patterns. Of late I have been having many dreams, none of them frightening, but they cause me to talk in my sleep, and thrash around. Last night I woke up to having gone over my side guard and was almost on the floor. Thankfully, I was able to get back up without a fall. I don't feel s

October 13, 2025:  Monday Bible Study on Acts 6:1-7 May the Grace and Love of our Savior give you comfort and peace and strength for this, and all coming days. Good morning my dear friends! Our church council met yesterday at American, and one of our business items had to do with homeless people around our building at night, and disturbances which they are causing in the neighborhood. The church property has been trashed, and human waste has had to be cleaned up. I started la

September 29, 2025:  Monday Bible Study on Acts 5:17-32 Blessings and Peace on this Autumn morning when the temperature was 66 as we left for school. Please remember that this Sunday is Gospel Music Sunday. I hope that you will come to worship this Sunday to support the Gospel Music group, and take part in the Sacrament of the Altar, and share in the carry-in Mexican meal after worship. We will need some help with breaking down the meal set up in the parish hall, because the
