One table. Many fruits. 

This summer, we’re coming together in a new way — one worship service, Family Sunday School for all ages, and a shared commitment to living out the fruits of the Spirit. Join us as we grow deeper in faith, together.

Starting Sunday, June 7:

  • One worship time: 9:30 - 10:15 - in the sanctuary
  • Family Sunday School: Spiritual gifts / Fruits of the Spirit 10:30 - 11:30am  - in the activity center
    (Fruit of the Spirit: Love)
  • Pastor Kristin’s last day 
  • Ad council is hosting Sunday morning coffee and breakfast (including a cake!)

 

Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming in the next few weeks:

  • June 14 - Blood drive - sign up today!
    (Fruit of the Spirit: Joy)
  • June 21 - Father’s Day (no Sunday School)
  • June 28 - Celebrate Pastor Adriana being commissioned
    (Fruit of the Spirit: Peace)
  • July 5 - Hot Dog Sunday - celebrate America’s 250th birthday!
    (Fruit of the Spirit: Patience)
  • July 12 (Fruit of the Spirit: Kindness)
  • July 19 (Fruit of the Spirit: Goodness)
  • July 26 (Fruit of the Spirit: Faithfulness)

We are excited to try this new format from June 7 to July 26, with one worship service at 9:30am, followed by programming and fellowship in the activity center with Sunday School designed for all ages! There will be several options to choose from for kids, youth, and adults. 

Please join us (even if you can only stay for part of the time) to learn about spiritual gifts, hear about the fruits of the spirit, and maybe even taste some favorite recipes that feature a fruit of the week! 

Are you interested in helping teach one week or bringing in a favorite dish (or donuts!)? Sign up to share your gifts!

June 7 will also be Pastor Kristin’s last Sunday with us. We invite you to help us honor and thank her for everything she has done for First United Church of Gilbert in the last 2 years. We are truly blessed to have her as our senior pastor during this time. 

While change can be difficult, it can also bring new energy and lift the spirit - which can become the wind beneath our wings as we fly to new heights. We are looking forward to exploring our spiritual gifts and trying something new.
