Shoebox Ministry
November through December 11th …

for the homeless men, women and children in our area. This may be the only
gift these children of God receive during this season.
Let’s keep their ‘souls’ warm!!
(Shoebox Ministry, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit service corporation, located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Shoebox was founded in 1988 with
a specific goal of meeting the personal hygiene needs of the homeless and working poor.
This is the only agency in the greater Phoenix area that focuses on meeting this very important need. While they
are not a shelter, they do distribute our toiletry kits through agencies and shelters that work directly with the home-
less and working poor.)
WEST SIDE LUTHERAN THRIFT STORE
NEEDS YOU:
We need your extra helping hands.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons
have the greatest need for volunteers.
Volunteer Orientation is the first Friday of each
month at noon.
Located at 107th and Peoria Avenues in Sun City.
Open six days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Between each worship service, the children are invited to "Extreme Kids". Several lay ministers are needed to serve on a rotational basis to work with these children during a 45 minute session.
For more information or to volunteer, contact the church office at 623-215-8139, or by email [email protected]
Children's Lay Ministers (volunteers) are Needed! Can You Help?
Extreme Kids Teachers
Help is needed to set up the sound
system before the worship
services, run the sound board during
the worship services and/or take
down
Our dedicated Worship Techs hard at work. We're not sure if they were really
paying attention. Pastor Kevin will quiz them later
Worship Technician
the sound system after the worship services. No experience is
necessary, but an ear for music and an aptitude for electronics is
helpful. For more information drop by the sound table after a
worship service and talk to Jason Schuldt ([email protected] ) or
contact the church office at 623-215-8139.
This group will present short skits and dramas as part of the worship experience on Sunday morning. No previous experience is necessary, though it is certainly helpful.
There is no need to memorize a lot of material, so a fantastic memory is not needed either (though again it is certainly helpful).
Contact Tracy Sawyer-Sinkbeil at [email protected] if interested or for further information.
Actors and Actresses
A Drama Ministry is forming at Desert Streams Church.
If you sing or play an instrument,
both worship teams would love to have you
join their musical groups.
You are not required to participate
every Sunday.
Also, if you know of a guitarist,
please give us the heads up!
Contact: Traci Sawyer-Sinkbeil or
Courtney Schuldt for more info.
SUNDAY CHURCH SET-UP
& BREAK-DOWN
Each Sunday morning at 6:45 a.m.
(no later than 7:00), we need people
to set-up for services
Each Sunday after the second service, we need
helping hands to break-down all the worship supplies.
Sign up today to assist with this necessary work!
The more people we have helping the more we
can rotate the willing hands from Sunday to Sunday.
