The Thirteenth Sunday after pentecost

If you are looking to be more involved with Church life at ASOD, please consider becoming an acolyte. We are currently looking to add several more acolytes to our group for both Saturday and Sunday services.
Training is easy!

If you would like more information,
please contact Kevin Nicastro, Senior Warden for the details. Email: srwarden@desertsaints.org. 

You may sponsor altar flowers for any occasion or memorial on a specific week. Flower contribution envelopes are at the back of the church and in the church office. We ask for a minimum $30 donation for each request. 

Altar Guild:
The Altar Guild is a liturgical partner to our clergy, preparing everything necessary for the celebration of the Eucharist and other sacraments. They maintain the altar linens, vessels, and implements kept in the church sacristy and help with seasonal decorations according to the Church calendar, reflecting the holiness and joy of worship. We are currently in need of more members for this important ministry. If you have a few hours a month to assist this vital service or have any questions, please contact Donna Betz (Donna.Betz.asod@gmail.com) or Kathy Kingsbury. 

Share the love through our Valley View Community Food Bank Wagon in the Narthex. Your gifts of nonperishable food, plastic shopping bags, spare change, or dollar bills help stock the shelves and support neighbors in need. If you do not have food to donate, any $1 bills placed in the collection plate will be given to the Valley View Community Food Bank. You may also place spare dollars or change in the collection can on the Food Bank Wagon. Every gift, large or small, helps make a difference.
