Afghan Refugee Resettlement

August 26, 2021

As you are aware, thousands of Afghan refugees have arrived in the US with more on the way. Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest will no doubt be involved in their re-settlement in our area. We may be able to sponsor a family or individual, or, at least, provide needed items for families.

If you are interested in helping with such a project or willing to research what is needed for sponsorship and/or donations, please contact the church office (480-967-3543 or info@ulctempe.org). We have a history of such sponsorship both by the congregation and by students. Thank you!

Opening of the Academic Year

August 25, 2021

We got off to a great start last Sunday with the Opening of the Academic Year, return of students, and return of more church members. Students enjoyed their first meal as well.

This week while remaining masked, we will introduce a bit of singing into worship. As we did last week, Holy Communion will be distributed with pre-cut pieces of bread handed out by tongs and individual glasses of wine/grape juice. Glasses are socially distanced in the trays and all distributing communion are masked. We do have sign ups now for lectors, ushers, and communion assistants or you can call the church office (480-967-3543) to sign up.

We continue to work toward live-streaming worship and think this may happen mid September. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work to be safe and provide a good worship experience.
