Casey, the PhLY youth director, shares the following for our high school youth:
You are invited to join us Saturday, April 9 from 3-5 pm as we walk through the prayer garden at Canaan in the Desert. The desert oasis is located just south of Shea on 40th Street. This is a Lutheran Convent with roots in Germany. To see more about Canaan in the Desert please visit https://www.canaaninthedesert.com. Please RSVP to this event by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/JsU1DXYyaUwAP4CMA.
On Saturday, May 14, from 6:00 am-9:00 am we are walking with UMOM New Day Centers in the annual fundraiser to end homelessness at the Phoenix Zoo. Registration is $15 and includes a T-shirt and admission to the Phoenix Zoo for the day (a day ticket for the Zoo is normally $30, so you save $15 and you are helping a great cause.) Please sign up by joining the PhLY Ministry team by clicking this link https://fundraise.umom.org/team/417628. Once the walk is over at 9:00 am, we will be enjoying the Zoo so come prepared to walk! Things to bring: sunscreen, water bottle, snacks, and money for lunch. We will plan on being done at noon. Founded in 1964, UMOM is located in Phoenix, Arizona and is an innovative provider of shelter, housing and services for people experiencing homelessness. Every night they provide safe shelter and supportive services for nearly 700 individuals experiencing homelessness – 155 families and 130 single women. They also offer over 550 units of affordable housing across the Valley.
Upcoming dates:
Saturday, April 9, 3:00 pm-5:00 pm Canaan in the Desert
