For the last two years, Rev. Jay Deskins has served as the full-time Regional Youth and Children’s Minister for the Christian Church in Arizona (Disciples of Christ). The Southwest Conference UCC has been fortunate to have him as a partner to lead a successful merging of our camping program with the Disciples camp. Jay also rose to the challenge, along with SWC Associate Minister Barb Doerrer-Peacock, of creating and implementing DUCC @ Home, the virtual camp that was held with the Disciples.
If you would like to thank Jay, you may send a card to him at 917 E. Sheridan St., Phoenix, AZ, 85006.
