FOOD DRIVE
Our local food pantry at Interfaith Community Services (ICS), is looking to restock its food banks this July with the fifth annual Peanut Butter Party food drive. ICS is asking the community to “spread the love” by contributing 10,000 jars of peanut butter to help replenish its food bank supply through the end of the year. In an average month ICS gives out about 2,000 jars of peanut butter. We will have boxes available on Sunday, July 17 through Sunday, July 31st to collect dried goods like peanut butter and canned items like beans, veggies or fruits. ICS can collect dried goods and canned items that are up to five months after the "best before" date, so take the time to review your pantry, add some peanut butter to your grocery list, and bring them to the patio on July 17th.


MISSION UPDATE
--Jon & Barb Habegger - Children Evangelism Fellowship
Earlier this month we attended our statewide AZ CEF Christian Youth in Action® (CYIA™) training in Prescott. Our students joined other high school and older students from around Arizona who studied well, and prepared a Bible lesson, memory verse, and a chapter of our 5-Day Club® (5DC) missionary story. All of us learned the songs for clubs this summer. Our theme is "Just Turned Around".

We continue to teach middle school students who are right here in Tucson! They will be learning all of our songs, and will also learn how to teach a memory verse and prayer time. Last week we enjoyed sharing a 5-Day Club at a bilingual Tucson church. We have some additional 5-Day Clubs in the planning stages and appreciate your faithful prayers and support.
