Grace in the Desert

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia. :)
We are not sure why our videos are not coming through live on Facebook and will be checking into that if we go back to worship in the future.
In the meantime, here is the link for today's Easter worship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o64Gmkcx4So
Blessings and Love to all of you ... 💜💜✝️✝️

Good morning, Everyone. :) I'm not sure why the service last night did not populate. But here is the link to YouTube so you can view it from there. :)

Good morning, Everyone. :) My heart is heavy as I report to you that our final worship at Grace in the Desert will be Easter Sunday. Ten days ago, we were planning in-person worship and what was going to come next. But God has let us know directly and through others that it is time. And, in an effort to always be faithful to His will, we are listening and obeying. Yes, as we say this week, a lot can change in seven days. We will continue to listen to God and if He tells us to change direction, we will. If we haven't heard that from Him before September, we will consider it finished.
I want all of you to know that the greatest privilege of my life has been to serve Grace in the Desert as her undershepherd. I pray blessings on all of you and want you to know just how much I love you. My prayers for you will continue -- please let me know if you need anything. :) Love and Blessings. :) Ceri

Good morning, Everyone. :) Unfortunately, I am not feeling any better so we are not going to be able to do worship tomorrow. :( Please plan to join us for Maundy Thursday at 7:00 pm and Good Friday 7:00 pm. Praying I will be feeling MUCH better by then. :)
Love you all -- please pray for me. :) 💜💜✝️✝️

Happy Thursday, Everyone. :) Praying you are having a stellar week. :) Unfortunately, I am not feeling great. We had hoped to open up for in person worship for Palm Sunday, but I'm not willing to risk if I'm contagious. Watch for announcements moving forward.
We will be worshiping on Saturday at 10 am Arizona time via Facebook Live and YouTube. Our mesage for this Palm Sunday will be "Can We Willingly Receive a Humble Savior?"
Our worship will be a bit more traditional (not the music, but the Order of Service) so if you'd like to follow along with a bulletin, you will find one at: graceinthedesertaz.org/worship-bulletins
Looking forward to worshiping with you on this Palm Sunday. 💜💜✝️✝️
