Bible Study, great skits (CJ will return), and great
teachers.

Pastor Jack
We will give you an update on how things went during
worship on Sunday!
We are so excited! Our youth are heading to Glorieta, NM
for Centrifuge Youth Camp, June 17-21. Preparation was
quite the journey this year. Actually, it all started in
June of 2020 when our World Changers camp was canceled
due to COVID-19. Despite the disappointment, we
persevered and signed up for Centrifuge in Prescott, AZ
and we were super excited. We began to fill spots and
honestly to my surprise we quickly had 27 teens and
leaders scheduled to attend by March 2021. In April, the
unthinkable phone call came. Our location in Prescott
for camp had canceled. As I hung up the phone, God
reminded me of Romans 8:28, He said, “Remember, Holly, I
work all things together for good to those that love God
and are called according to His purpose.”
With that under my belt, I began to look for other
locations and we were told that we could attend
Centrifuge in Glorieta, NM! In spite of a scare that we
might have to go to plan C, we are heading to New Mexico
Thursday, June 17 at 3:00 am! Please pray for travel
safety and safety during camp. Most of all pray for
great spiritual growth for our teens and leaders as we
participate in what God has planned for us.

 What
Does The Bible Say?
What does the Bible say about . . . ?
It's always a good question to ask, and my next series
of blogs (with occasional interruptions) will answer
that question on issues submitted by our members.
The first one is about the "Minimum Wage." Read my
thoughts at
www.abcaz.net/blog.
And do you have a "What does the Bible say about . . . "
question? Ic can be about ethics, morality,
personal, or current issues, Send me an email or a text
and I'll answer it in a future blog!

 ABC
News
Pastor Jack will be at the SBC Convention in Nashville
in June, followed by a two week vacation in North
Carolina. While he is gone, we will be blessed by
the preaching of Kenny Marslender, Rick Wiles, and David
Johnson!
We are beginning the process of updating our webpage to
make it more user-friendly, responsive on small screens,
and helpful. The address will remain the same, so
you won't have to change anything. We will keep
you posted on updates!
We have a new way for our members to give to our church.
At the request of a member, we've opened a non-profit
brokerage account so that members can give stocks or
other securities to the church. There are
incredible tax advantages for those who want to do so.
Contact the church office if you want to know how to
give. (Like all gifts, it is completely anonymous
except that our clerk will give you a donation receipt.
You will get a full tax deduction for the value of the
security on the day you gave, and you pay no capital
gains tax!)
We anticipate being fully open with no restrictions (and
no roped-off pews) by
this August. Read this newsletter for full details
as they are available!
Pastor Jack is serving as President of the Arizona
Southern Baptist Convention. Pray for him as
he serves in this additional way this year! |
