Creation Care Ministry - Happy Pollinator Month! Caring for God's Creation can happen right in your yard.  Learn more from Chris Robie & the Xerces Society at xerces.org; the world's largest organization for the conservation of invertebrates, mainly pollinators. Chat with Chris during coffee hour. To learn more about our Creation Care Ministry  https://azdiocese.org/creation-care/. 

 Disclosure Day (new movie) Discussion on Sunday, July 12th, post service. Let’s have a lively discussion about this thought-provoking film, which creates a story about humanity’s first verified contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. Beyond that, it raises deeper questions about faith, empathy, human dignity, and what it means to truly connect with God’s creation. 

 Security Teams of volunteers for the parish are needed. Anyone who might be interested in serving in this capacity, or you want to hear more, contact Mtr Lainie+ mtrlainie@gmail.com or Jamie communicate.stalbans@gmail.com We will meet Sunday, July 19th, after service, to go over a few things and discuss security. 

 Get Nutty for ICS – Peanut Butter Party – Food Drive - Interfaith Community Services’ annual Peanut Butter Party food drive is underway! Fight hunger in our community by helping ICS collect more than 10,000 jars before the drive ends on August 1. Peanut butter is a staple food at ICS food banks. Everyone who comes to pick up food receives a jar. It is a versatile protein source that requires no refrigeration and no cooking facilities, making it a great choice for families. So, bring a jar or two (any size or style) each time you come to Saint Alban’s during July, and help ICS help our fellow Tucsonans in need!

 Rector’s Discretionary Fund – The first Sunday of each month we’ll take an offering for the Rector’s Discretionary Fund to support  those in need. Please put a check in offering or use the QR code which takes you to our website.

Prayer for the Mission of the Church

Everliving God, whose will it is to restore all people with God and one another through your Son Jesus Christ: Inspire our witness to him, that all may know the power of his forgiveness and the hope of his resurrection; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
