No One Loves VBS More than Me!
That’s a strong statement, and since it’s an opinion, I can’t really prove it. And there are others whose love for VBS might rival mine.
But I do love Vacation Bible School!
Listen to my thoughts, and the story behind my involvement in VBS in this week’s devotional.

Another Way To "Love People!"
It’s an “easy” way to love people. We just ask you to “hang out” with people and “hand out” cold water!
You might hang out with unhoused people, with seniors who can’t afford air conditioning, with families trying to save money. Those are the typical people who use heat relief centers in Maricopa County.
It is now open! We need volunteers to be in the room for a four hour shift, anytime from 8:00 to 8:00, Monday – Saturday. Email amanda@abcaz.net if you can help!
Our Discussion From Last Week's Business Meeting
Last Wednesday, we met and discussed the possibility of entering into a partnership with Alongside Ministry. The heart of the agreement is selling them part of our property (the approximately 2 acres to the east of the MAC.) Details haven’t been officially negotiated, but we anticipate receiving about $960,000, with Alongside Ministries paying for the subdividing of our property. We would use the money to (1) pay off our mortgage, (2) set-aside money for future building and maintenance needs, and (3) use the money for future projects as approved by the church.
No action was taken; this was for informational purposes only.
If we sell the property, Alongside Ministries anticipates using the land for offices, training classrooms, and transitional housing for those coming out of prison. Alongside Ministries mentors men and women in prison and enters them into an intensive Christian discipleship ministry. They have been highly successful, with 97% of their graduates getting out and staying ouf of prision.

Looking Ahead to July & August!
