We collected 349 pairs of men’s, women’s and children’s socks. These were given to ShoeBox Ministry to be handed out to the less fortunate that find themselves living on the streets.
We also adopted 2 families from Maryland School. A total of 7 children, ranging from 2 to 11 years of age. The children each received 5 presents consisting of a pair of new shoes, a new outfit, a toy, a book and a scooter. The 2 year old received a Big Wheel bike. Our 2 families also received a box filled with every day household cleaning items.

Read MoreShadow Rock United Church of Christ has from the very beginning affirmed the goodness of life and celebrated the creative human spirit. Art, beauty, and a comprehensive view of life is a crucial part of who we are. In this spirit, we move toward closure of our celebration of our 50th Anniversary with the Golden Celebration of Community Art Show & Sale. This art show will feature artists from the Southwest, and many of whom share a connection with Shadow Rock UCC and the Moon Valley area. Also, on the day of the art show, there will be an interactive event for young artists and families to do together the day of the kick off.
This is a great opportunity to share some of the best of who we are with the community we are called to love and serve. The Art Show Team recommends that all of us invite four people to this event. In addition to the grand opening on Nov. 18th, 3-6 pm, we will have the additional days and times for viewing on Nov. 19th, Nov. 26th and Dec. 3, 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM. Bring a friend, go to lunch, appreciate art, and be in good company.
Read MoreSun Lakes United Church of Christ hosted their very first blood drive with the American Red Cross on Thursday, November 2, 2023. Twenty units of blood were collected and for ten of the donors, this was the first time they had ever given blood. The staff of the American Red Cross were very pleased with how busy they were during the 5 hours of the drive.
“Hosting a blood drive coincides with Sun Lakes United Church of Christ’s core values of giving back to the community.” said Rev. Derrick Elliott, Pastor, Sun Lakes UCC. “With a simple blood donation, we have the ability to help save the life of someone who could be a co-worker, loved one, or neighbor.”
Several members of the church either donated blood or volunteered at the registration table and the refreshment area, while other members just visited with the donors.
Per the American Red Cross and the members of the church, this was a great experience for all who participated in one way or another. Congratulations on a job well done, Sun Lakes UCC!
