Practical Music Theory Summer Class
For some weeks this summer, Music Director Lorena Suarez will hold Music Theory classes on Wednesdays at 6:30PM in the Carillon room. If you are interested in attending, please let her or the church office know. We would always love to have more participants!
These classes are enjoyable and informative, and afterwards we often share a meal together at one of the restaurants nearby.
Chancel Choir Summer Schedule
Come join our summer choir even if you’re not a regular choir member! From June 12th through July 31st, we won’t have weekly rehearsals at night, so please come to the church with your spirit and love of music by 9AM on Sundays before the worship service.
The Inn of Southern Arizona Needs Volunteers!
The Inn is very much in need of volunteers for hospitality shifts and for driving Inn guests. If you’d like to help out, please visit www.TheInnOfSA.org to register your interest. The organization is also accepting donations of clothing, backpacks, pre-packaged snacks, and various other items, which can be dropped off at First Church on Sunday after the 10AM worship service ends, or Monday-Thursday 10AM-2PM while the office is open.
Please see pages 3 & 4 of the June 7th Digest for more information.
Digest - New Publishing Schedule
During June, July, and August, the Digest will be issued only once a month. Starting in September, the Digest will be issued on the first and third Tuesdays of the month.
Mask Requirement Update
Due to the drop in COVID-19 cases in Pima County, our Health Ministry Team has decided to relax First Church's mask mandate. For now, wearing a mask in the church building is no longer a requirement, though encouraged. Should cases rise again, we will have to return to masking.
Social distancing is still in effect and we request that you continue using low-contact greetings such as fist/elbow bumps, bowing, etc.
Prayer Requests
If you have a prayer request, please contact the church office or pastor, or share it with the congregation during the Joys and Concerns segment of the 10AM Sunday worship service. We can also include your request (anonymously if preferred) in the next digest.

If you’re interested in coming, contact the church office by Wednesday, June 8th so we can reserve enough tables at the restaurant.
